       | The current administration is not merely racists, autocratic, and
       | hell bent on insuring all wealth is held by the oligarch class,

       | it is _also_ engaged in the most venal, short-sighted, and
       | destructive assault on the basic functions of governance and
       | civil society I can imagine.

       | I don't care what one's view is on the appropriate scale and role
       | of federal governance, some operations are best and only
       | accomplished at that level,
       | 
       | and this short of bullshit is not just a disservice to, it is an
       | _attack_ on the citizenry.

         | kings.

             | and only those who are morally defective suffer. (Those are

             | The high officials are the truly great ones who have
             | restored the natural order. You don't need that. You just
             | require being recognized as somewhat better than most.
