We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Is war a form of revenge? As a defense mechanism, no. War itself brings out revenge in the opposing sides. Everyone loses in war except for those fat cats within the military industry and politicians. Yeah, that’s a blanket statement not meant to be so. Gray areas abound within our human existence.
I used to hope for a better world, but now I only want to see the bastards responsible get the bloody end they deserve.
I served when the threat was external. But we kept their military at bay. Then the globalists opened the doors for them in order to become wealthy.
I had always anticipated that this time would come sooner, and that I would get to fight it instead of my children, and their children. It's getting perilously close to the point where that isn't going to be how it plays out. Which means old men my age don't have very much to lose. F*ck graves. I want their heads on a pike and their bodies rotting in a ditch.
