Realistically the answer is hands down government. Over 170,000,000 people were killed by their own governments in the 20th century, and our government is showing many signs of going in that direction. Police are arming to the teeth. Even the Dept of Education buys up sawed-off shotguns. Why U.S. Education Department has 27 12-gauge shotguns
There is arbitrary and selective enforcement of laws. There is a lack of accountability over programs like "Fast and Furious." There's a dual-class structure where public sector workers are afforded special rights and leniencies. There's a strong tendency to demonize and scapegoat minority groups such as cigarette smokers. soda drinkers, gun owners, etc. These are all bad signs. Some would say we've already arrived at the police state. I don't think so, but I don't think it's tough to imagine the dam bursting in the next 20 years or so.
I agree. When I ran off and joined the Circus as a young man I was employed as a fortune teller. My job was to read the wrinkles in mens scrotums and predict their future. As you can imagine, the job required that you had warm hands, so prior to going to work I would take my two hamsters, lefty and cletus, and cup them in my hands to increase my body temperature. One day, the resident clown stepped on my hamsters, killing both of them instantly. (they do have big feet, I mean the clowns)
I was forced to fall back on plan B, aerospace engineer. I still wake up at night in a cold sweat thinking about clowns.
dont be we are not all bad.
if aerospace is anything like welfare dept and DOD circus skills are very transferable.

I had always hoped lefty and cletus would find a good home when they left for the bright lights. Now I know. Thank you kind sir.
