Our politicians scare me on a regular basis.
That's not
that impressive. Many of these people have very dubious claims to the title "politician" (already a dubious honor in and of itself), and in a nation of 319 million people (about 4.3% of all people alive on earth today), there are always going to be enough to freak you the hell out.
Basically people have always been this crazy: It's just more noticeable now that everyone has a video recorder.
@Tom Perkins thing
If people want to make slippery slope arguments about Occupy and class warfare, they should really look at the Reign of Terror, not examples of those in power abusing the lower and marginalized classes.
(nevermind that absolute numbers wise, the lower classes still suffered the worst during the Reign of Terror. Still a less stupid example)
That's being a bit unfair. If 500 people of the 1000 people in group A die, and 600 people of the 1000000 people in Group B die, you can't rightfully say that Group B suffers more. With that logic the US, with a casualty total of 418,000 and a population hit of .32%(note the decimal), suffered more then Lithuania, with a casualty total of 350,000 and a population hit of 14.23%.
Our politicians scare me on a regular basis.
Yea, me too. Seriously some of these people belong in mental facilities...
Which brings us to one obvious conclusion: turn the house of representatives into a mental facility. But then, Roger Waters proposed this already the year I was born.
People have hated Congress for much longer then that.
Even John Adams.I think it works because no one hates Congress more the Congress.
