Mark Twain
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
"The presence of those seeking the truth is infinitely to be preferred to the presence of those who think they've found it."

And as the day wraps up the politicians have mouthed their meaningless platitudes, the TSA has groped their usual quotas of toddlers and elderly ladies in wheelchairs, and the usual tens of thousands of people have died of pneumonia, auto accidents, heart attacks, and suicides while the Serious People remind us that if we don’t hand over all our freedoms to kindly Big Brother who loves us and wants only the best for us, then the terriers win. And another Piss Your Pants And Scream In Terror Day draws to a close with the usual empty promises and lies and drumbeats of war in some foreign land that the majority of Americans cannot find on a map. So it goes.

And Zero has extended the ’emergency declaration’ for another year … probably because we will strengthen al Qaeda if we attack Syria, or something. 😈
And, how do you or anyone know that “strengthening Al-Qaeda” isn’t the plan?
“They” have to have a bogey man! Otherwise, most American drones may actually start to think (rather than the minority that does now, but can’t really say or do anything ‘çause, ya know… iz unpatriotic an youz will burn in hell!!). Heaven forbid that horror (thinking & questioning, and don’t even consider *actually doing anything about it*) ever happening in the good ol’ US of A! 😈
Present company excluded of course. 😉 🙂
I expect a return of the color-coded threat level any day now.
