Also Reagan and the Bush family.

Epic low in American political history.
Your apparent obsession with demonizing and stereotyping everyone you view as opposed to your "thinking" makes Joe McCarthy look like Tiny Tim. So much for "passing winds".

And then an insulin shot up the a**. And finally an adrenaline shot to the heart by the EMS.

This is something that throws me off every time. I was just riding Greyhounds through the Eastern USA and what blew my mind was how in-your-face people were. I had this bus driver who would just shout in to the speaker things like "OKAAAAAY YALL, I LUUUUUVVVVVV MY JOB IF ANY YALL HAVE OPEN ALCOHOL IN HERE I WILLLLLLLL NOT HESITATE TO THROW YOUR BUTT TO THA CURB AND CALL THE AUTHORITIES." It's kind of funny, but I also don't understand how this jives in a country so obsessed with customer service. It's extremely unprofessional, to me at least.

You get personally attacked for the way you defend it. You also tend to defend it blindly when you should probably not say much. But that's more a reflection on you.
