2. Or chimps in a zoo
stockpiling stones to throw at those who come to point and laugh.
(Apologies to the poor chimps in zoos)

4. that seems kinda insulting to the Amish, good thing they don't use computers I guess

How about like the old Circus freak shows?


And I think they may be on the way to being just that. Long term demographics are working in our favor. Add to that the Bush/Cheney/Rove damage that has been done over the last 8 years and (hopefully) they may never be able to recover.

5. I think you're counting your chickens

They were out of power 1932-1952. They came back. They will not give up, they will not go away, they will not die. You count them out, turn your back on them, you'll find a knife in your back and your wallet missing.

They're just molting right now, transforming into something I HOPE will be better, but I KNOW will be worse.
