I have been trying to not share political stuff as I have a few right wing friends. We don't talk politics but this shutdown scares me as it could lead to a constitutional crisis where the monied koch's could take over our government. And that crazy preacher who is hoping for a miltary coup. Bush getting picked by the supreme court in 2000, 9-11, and citizen's united could be the final nail in the coffin in the US as we know it.
