Filibuster Reform

[B_starinvestor]

I like Kentucky. Lax to zero required car inspection, good gun law, you can still buy ephedrine... and Ale-8 of course.

cheap cigarettes, too

Nah. Just get rid of one state. I always thought that Kentucky was extraneous.

Oh no! Kentucky is beautiful - Stephen Foster, bluegrass, hosses, de Camptown Ladies and the bestest bourbon. Need I say more? Let's eliminate Alabama. It's the armpit of the universe, no offense to armpits.
But keep Burminham, cause Burminham be cool.

Seriously, (wo)man... I know you must hate the fact that I occasionally call you out for your nonsense. But do you really have to invent a fake quote to express your anger on the situation?

You can't change the rules because Republicans will bitch until the end of time and use the media to make the Dems look like power hungry assholes.

I hate this country and the people in it... we get the government that we deserve and it is looking like the government that America deserves is a corporate dystopia that serves the rich and annihilates the poor.

Americans are the absolute biggest fuck ups on the planet. The biggest group of uneducated and selfish assholes that has ever assembled.

The conservatives are only interested in WINNING, they could care less about the health of the nation or in the individual lives that they crush every day in their game of amassing more and more wealth.

The wealthy American barons had a modern day Sherman's march across the country that left the low classes decimated and the middle class on it's last leg. The rich are stronger than ever and are poised to reclaim their fiefdoms and thrones that were rendered obsolete by various bloody revolutions. The royalty used to own EVERYTHING and now they do once again.

It is over.

My grandfather was there on Mt. Suribachi working triage for the marines and witnessed the flag being raised. He witnessed soooo much carnage and gore that he became an atheist and later developed a disdain for the overpopulating of the earth and became fervently pro-choice as well.

He hasn't voted since 2000 because he sees the increased corporatization of the electoral system that he went through literally hell to preserve. Once you fish through a man who, when alive, used to be your friend's hamburger like remains for any sign of his dog tags, you get a bit of a perspective on reality. You start to see things for the way that they really are not what you want them to be.

Life is hard and brutal for the poor and destitute. Maybe we should just stop feeding them so they won't breed? They are poor and destitute and clearly inferior to those who have money right? I mean, since they are inferior people, they shouldn't be allowed to do anything on their own terms right? Instead of slowly starving them to death, why don't we just round them up and kill them fast and humanely in structured death camps. Since society will not help them, then maybe they should all be eliminated?

Hell, why stop at the low classes and the poor? The middle classes seem to have a sense of entitlement in this country, I mean, my grandfather seems to think that since he served our country in it's most dire time that he is at least owed free and fair elections... people like him should be rounded up and removed from society because his thoughts are anti-business and subversive right?

The rich used to make their money off of the backs of the lower and middle classes of America and before it they made their wealth off of the backs of their African slaves in a deal with the devil that was most nefarious.

Now, we have the globalization of the American work force and the rich no longer make their money off of the backs of Americans, so we are now of little to no use to them. Expect the reappearance of the debtor's prisons of Europe's middle ages.

Are there no prison's?

Are there no workhouses?
