That is a frighteningly apt analogy.

Up until, erm, maybe the last year or so, I was never afraid of the economy, either. It didn't keep me up at night or make me sick to my stomach when thinking about it. But lately it does. I feel like we're (meaning those of us in the younger working-class generation) being robbed of our future and our children's future by fear-mongering greedy mongrels. I know fear and disgust don't help much, but I keep signing petitions and voting and nothing ever changes. If we have to face another administration like the current one come November, I am 99% certain my head is going to explode.

This administration has proven that they're best skill is fucking up beyond all conceivable measure. Why treat them with any respect? Why give any idea they present with a modicum of regard?

B-Dizzle's so pissed, his English language skills have fled!

HAHA...Fuck off.
