Everyone (?) in this forum knows that John won't be listened to.
ESPECIALLY John-O!
"Cow Lickers"..!? THAT is a nifty phrase. Meaning: "Gullible enough to lick a cow if told to do so"?
John, by the way, would prefer to be directly beneath the first nuke explosion, so as to get it over with, with the least pain possible. Though he WILL probably be sporting a nice cold margarita, or whatever his favorite cocktail is.
I predict that we have 2 to 4 years of pre-war "fun" (as defined by players of Dwarf Fortress) before the REAL GD Crisis War™, as nationalism needs to be ramped up such that it nearly completely replaces the "Social Justice Warrior -ism" in the "millennial" population, who are going to be the ones fighting that war.
The news on this website is from a valuable perspective, and worthy of continually checking in on.
I'm with you, though, in spirit, as I'm building my (sail) boat to get onto the Pacific to fish and flit from tiny island to tiny island until some huge wave, or warship, feeds me to the fishes. Seems fair,.. I eat them,.. they eventually eat me.
Aloha nui! <shaka!>
