"That is probably the point where blue America finds out exactly what the Second Amendment was designed for."

Modern Americans are cowards, by and large it seems. We talk a big game, but our comforts are too great to lose. "All experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suffer able, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed." The government is bankrupting us and flooding the country with millions of barbarians. Our currency is worthless, our economy is stagnant and probably shrinking, our so-called leaders are now breaking the fourth wall, our enemies are rehearsing in their own version of the Spanish Civil War and armed to the teeth, and our children's minds are being poisoned daily. Anyways, did you watch baseball playoffs last night?

All true revolutions are started by a few patriots with the flame of freedom in their hearts.

I do wonder if an adequate response can be attained in adequate time.

According to my AI assistant, The fourth wall is an imaginary wall that separates the audience from the actors in a performance.

So we are all being brought into the fray?

My (bad, I guess) analogy is that in many ways they are not pretending any longer or at least are badly keeping up appearances. The mask and the gloves are off. The irreality we are presented is becoming common knowledge (in the sense that you know that I know, I know you know that I know and so on) regarding the production the 'blob' is putting on.

Not a bad analogy at all. I got it as soon as I read it. Beautiful.

No thank you. My cash is spent on ever more expensive goods and is better used feeding my infant and children the cost of which, by the way, has not jumped but pole vaulted (by design) in price between my first and most recently born. To my enthusiastic enjoyment, my creepy Uncle, Sam, who checks my web history and looks ay my texts over my shoulder, still takes much my worthless money. He does this despite knowing the fed can simply make more appear as if by magic. At any rate, do you remember when people were demanding heads on a stick over two shilling for a pound of tea? As I recall the cheap tea bit is in the old testament, so the cheap dinosaur squeezings must be in the new.

On a completely unrelated note do they still teach hyperbole in school?
