Let me put it this way to you Arthur: even if we can agree that the bad guys won a long time ago, it's still nice to see one of them getting busted once in a while, isn't it? Can you allow yourself that small and simple pleasure?

It IS a pleasure.

We are in a wild forest, howie. I am sure that the animals of the forest take pleasure in their good moments. Mating, eating, sleeping, playing...but have you ever watched a deer eat? Nibble, nibble...LOOK UP AND AROUND. Nibble some more...SNIFF!!!

Two of the worst predators in the forest are locked in battle for supremacy here.

Either one would eat us as a snack if it so suited their aims.

I will root for the lesser of two evils.

No further.

AG, [the] " deer eat? Nibble, nibble... LOOK UP AND AROUND. Nibble some more..SNIF!!"  reminds of Putin's 'Comrade wolf' analogy just days ago,

'U.S. is like a wolf that eats without listening.'

Well, "You can't vote for war and disown the results"

One that eats without stopping, too.

Way past being full.

Then pukes and does it again.

Comrade Wolf has an eating disorder.

Prognosis...if caught, he will have to be put down.

AND...I do not believe that "the bad guys" HAVE won.

If I believed that I would just get out of town and start somewhere else.

I know I use this quote too often, but...there it is. It is just too heavy to leave lying around unread.

"The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." - MLK Jr.

I believe that. And I live by it. I believed it before I read it. Reverend King just said it very well.
