Well it will be a good thing when "America Collapse"
Then you will not have a ISP to post you crap!


Sorry Bubba, but like firearms, nuclear weapons and oral sex, the
genie is out of the bottle. Even after a Collapse..the Net will be one
of the first things to become reimplimented. In one fashion or
another.

Think of how old you are.

Now pick a number: the number of estimated years between you and a natural,
inevitable death from old age.

Life is sweet - albiet much too short - and either one of us could wake up dead
tomorrow - heart attack, virus, drunk driver...or just plain stupidity.


Sure.

Stop thinking about the end of the world and enjoy what you have left



I am not thinking about the end of the world. But of the end of an incredibly
destructive culture that MUST die, and soon, or there will be no life on
Earth.

Sorry buddy, reality won't go away just because you don't choose to think
about it.

What I hear you saying is: Well, there's a 99% chance of rain today, but
I am going to leave my raincoat and umbrella behind because it depresses
me to think about the rain.


If you stick your head in the sand, something nasty may very well come along
and **** you in the ass.

And you DESERVE it.

(by-the-way, I think Industrial-Capitalism STINKS and not only enjoy thinking
about another way to live, but find the subject fascinating)

" ..The world has gone crazy. Guess I'm showing my age...
I think it dates from when we started looking at virtues
as funny. It's embarrassing to speak of honor, integrity,
bravery, patriotism, 'doing the right thing', charity,
fairness. You have Seinfeld making cowardice an acceptable
choice; our politicians changing positions of honor with
every poll; we laugh at servicemen and patriotic fervor; we
accept corruption in our police and bias in our judges; we
kill our children, and wonder why they have no respect for
Life. We deny children their childhood and innocence- and
then we denigrate being a Man, as opposed to a 'person'. We
*assume* that anyone with a weapon will use it against his
fellowman- if only he has the chance. Nah; in our agitation
to keep the State out of the church business, we've
destroyed our value system and replaced it with *nothing*.
