...My own country disgusts me. I am so embarrassed to be called an American. We make Sodom & Gomorrah look like a monastery. God hasn’t figured out yet what our punishment is going to be...

Maybe it will be an earthquake followed by a tsunami that destroys a nuclear plant that then spews radiation over our country....oh wait, that was in your little future prime minister's country.

I think this “liquid glass” is sodium silicate. It was used to kill the engines in the clunker car program by pouring it in the crankcase and can be used as stop leak with water in an automotive cooling system.

Na or K silicate is also widely used as a binding agent for stick electrodes to encapsulate ferro metallics to each other.

Today they live like Saltine crackers. If they don’t cut their birth rate the next option is to live like bread crumbs. Give them thirty or forty years for some of the elders to fertilize the soil. Don’t worry, they’ll get around to making babies as if it was the normal thing to do.
