'Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead
Or a yawing hole in a battered head
And the scuppers clogged with rotting red
And there they lay I damn me eyes
All lookouts clapped on Paradise
All souls bound just contrarywise, yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!
will you vote for clinton again in 2020?
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

Nearly all the political violence we've seen throughout this election season has been carried out against Trump supporters and/or the party he's running with. There will be a great deal of salt regardless of the result, which is why I don't understand why people are in such a hurry -- things get worse in this country, not better, after the election, no matter the result. Either one of two vile pieces of garbage becomes President elect, or the election gets thrown to the House of Representatives by an obscure process of civics that will have all the Dumb Masses confused and their parties whipping them into a frenzy born of their ignorance.

Most people would rather die than think, and most people do. -Bertrand Russell
Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This election won't even begin to normalize itself until February.

The end of this election is just the beginning of the end.
Man, im so with you on this. extremists came out of the wood work and more have been born from the rhetoric and fighting.
one of my wifes long time friends, just flipped out on her for not backing her up on my wifes FB thread when she (friend not my wife) attacked a conservative guy (another long time friend) for being a white male (he hadn't done anything except point out why he believed what he believed). this friend of my wife then proceeded to telling her she didn't understand why my wife didnt censor the conservative to protect her. my wifes over here as a professional writer saying "uhhh, i dont believe in censorship and believe in free speech and mature discussion, sorry"...we're pretty moderate in our household. you know, take others opinions into account because everyone comes from a different perspective, etc etc...
it's all very insane right now, and this just pushed me over the edge. I guess it's bad when more constructive and intelligent discussion is happening on MMOC than your own FB feed. UGH
dont even get me started on what my baby boomer parents are posting...
