(63,665 posts)even though it's fake choco and the gin is watered down, it's still something, right? RIGHT??
No one should be surprised by this. before I opened this thread, I said to myself, "myself, I bet the vote was 5-4" and lo and behold, I was right.
remember the old saying about insanity, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result?
well, since the court is 5 conservs to 4 libs, why do we all expect them to do something different?
with this ruling the concept of voting just was watered down just that much more.
"it's not who gets the most votes, it's who counts them" someone once said, but to paraphrase that, "it's not who gets the most votes, it's who that funds them".
We had a good run, but we got sleepy and stupid on too much tv, crap food and the brainwashing of a never ending spending spree with empty pockets.
and here we are, beaten down like the population under stalin. sure you can protest, but you better be prepared for a little pepper spray, a gas canister to the face or shot because you wore a hoodie.
Yeah, freedom. rah rah. just another word for when you have nothing left to lose. how much more do we have to lose?
