Cogent observation Laz. One thing that struck me reading that response of yours.
I get this sense that Cub fans and Conservatives have a lot in common. You finally think they have a team there that can restore the freedoms you’ve lost and reverse the losing economic trend, but soon after the first week of the season, you end up thinking, “Maybe next election cycle. We’re just a few decent players away from winning.”
We are creeping ever so closer to the cartridge box being the only recourse remaining.
We've been at that point, and we took a pass. The Era of the Gun is almost over anyways. A swarm of playing-card-deck quadrotor drones, each equipped with a 1" barrel and a single .22 short cartridge, beats any soldier, insurgent, or civilian.
