During the election bias of that sort seemed to be a selling point.

It seems to be functioning quite well right now.

It wasn't until I read your comment that I realized the guy you replied to was describing the bad guys.

I thought he meant the police.

A fair portion of what I do for a living involves photographing things in what most people would consider 'conflict zones'.

The reality is that opportunities to photograph anything a news agency would consider interesting in relation to any conflict are few and far between. More often than not it is just not possible to move fast enough, even by helicopter, to get to the fighting while it is still going on unless you are riding along with whomever starts it. Most of it starts fast and ends fast.

You think one day you are sitting in the drive thru at Burger King and some signal goes out and you head into the woods with your SKS to live born again hard.

I know that not to be the way things will go, and I know that you don't know.

So this.

Wen Ho Lee.

Of course I'm not a 1%er. I don't know about favorite, but I was a pretty good whore for a time.

Feel free to further thrill me with your trick shooting exploits, like that is even half the entrance fee.

I've seen Marine artillery shell a city, and I've seen a team of 6 guys with rifles do their thing with gloves off, against a foe far harder than you and your weekend buddies can fathom. I know how it ended and how it will end again. I still regularly shoot against the best of you and I know your poor form. Now would be a good time to pretend you were being metaphorical.

None of you people are going to rise up and do anything of the sort, not least because you can't. To people who don't know the history behind the quote it looks tough printed on a T shirt, but we all know that is just tough talk.

And the larger point here is that class warfare has no end because someone always has more than the next guy.

I'd have skipped the derp part but you rang the bell with that one.

We'd still have scratch offs though, right?

No, there is a global conspiracy to keep the knolwdge of grammar and spelling in the hands of the Chosen 1%.

I have a hard time feeling bad for a guy who buys a car that no one has ever tried to conceal will work with only the dealer's pump, then gets mad that it works with only the dealer's pump.

In your analogy, why do people want to buy these cars 'in droves'?

He would no doubt describe my choosing an Apple product over...well I can't think of any real FOSS smartphones that exist...as sleepwalking. That is a tenent of people like Stallman, they always think they know what I need better than I do.
