2+2

Invade Iran = reinstatement of the draft.

No fucking way could we avoid it. Iran ain't the push-over Iraq was. At least we'll eventually get another spiffy war memorial on the DC mall some time in the future over it!

We'll also be getting a re-engorged military-industrial-congressional complex from it, besides. It's too bad all those young patriotic kids will have to die for it, though. Kinda like marching sacrificial virgins into a volcano. And just as superstitious.

OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS

The people that run our planet simply don't care if they are creating a future of biblical cataclysmic proportions. They think they're rich and privileged enough to deal with it and the health of mother earth be damned.

To paraphrase Frank Zappa, humanities awareness of the consequences of global warming will not be felt by average people until it comes up and bites them in the ass. That time is now in the present moment.

The world should have been aggressively fixing this thirty fucking years ago! It's way too late to do anything about it now. Heaven help the young and the hell on earth we have given all their futures!

About 90-percent

Gee - my profile info didn't migrate from the old DU I guess? The main thing - 90% refers to the maximum allowable percentage of nitromethane fuel permitted in modern NHRA Top Fuel and Funny cars. Which is what makes current "nostalgia nitro" so cool - you can still "tip the can" and run straight nitro, if you want to. I'm an aging northeast liberal with an overdeveloped justice gland.
