Well, Wafers, it's been quite a ride. The country seems to be careening toward destruction now, although how current events will play out is anyone's guess. We are marching, we are dying, and we are unemployed. Everything I predicted in the Twilight book (now 20 years old), and more, is coming to pass. Martial law hovers in the wings; the bubbas whisper about boogaloo. Churchill famously said that in the end, the United States always did the right thing. Not this time around, I fear.
