Kind of strange, but I really felt excited and hopeful for the future when the CCCP collapsed and then the White House rebellion survived the Army surrounding. Was even excited when Gulf War 1 was over in twelve seconds. Then, after I was a dummy and voting for Perot got Klinton, I was mad, but still hopeful for a long time until I realized GW wasn't going to seriously straighten out much of Klinton's damage. Then Obama comes, and when neither Roberts nor McInsane did the right thing, well, that was a shock.
Had hope when Trump won against all odds, but I've only got about 20 percent of that now. Talk to me after the 2022 Congressional results are in.


Up hills slow,
Down hills fast
Tonnage first and
Safety last.
