"If you are a black vegetarian Muslim asylum-seeking one-legged lesbian lorry driver, I want the same rights as you." Page was arrested ...It took him five years to clear his name.

Telling the truth can hurt - but it shouldn't cost five years...

Don't worry it will never happen here. We won't put up with it.

"The Trains really do go to places where we will be given work with dignity..."

Sometimes the truth is so horrible masses of people elect not to believe it.

I think an attempt to register firearms will be the spark that ignites a conflagration in this country. I would hate to see it happen, but the arrogance of the Beltway, the Congress and WH is astounding. And it might start here on FR, if it hasn’t begun already.

That would be silly.

None of us have guns.

Oh, I admit I have a Lee Pro loader, but I just happen to enjoy loading ammunition, taking it apart, and putting it together again.

"To be a “soccer hooligan” is to be a dumbed down welfare thing."

You’ve already been dehumanized by the system. Do people like this fight back against totalitarianism? Not if history is a guide.

They guard the camps and run the ovens.

You know your history and not just the 20th century either.

Maybe that is why I have such a miserable disposition of late. I should not read it, really.

Some of History is glorious, but much of it breeds a disgust with humanity.

Agreed. I’ve been grumpy, too.
