I do get a lot of attention with it and it's a lot safer for me than calling every second person I see a faggot.

Even in my lifetime there has been dramatic change, I suspect more is to come before I die, if history is any guide.
Another disturbing possibility I see is that the USA will evolve in to a sort of Empire like the Roman empire. Where only one or two imperial families rule the country. We can see things going that way already. So few people have a real problem with having another Clinton as president (likely to be followed in 8 years by Jeb Bush). Their seems to be a idea that some people are genetically more fit to ruel or something. That's dangerous, at least as dangerous in my opinion as the idea of corporations ceasing all real control over the world.
Brenda, politicians no longer rule the world, if they ever did. It is corporations that do and that isn't some paranoid fantasy.Quote:

The Roman Empire was doomed as soon as it over-extended its armies and watered them down with foreign conscripts.
Sound familiar?
Kelly, I like you, you are a gorgeous woman, but to me you are a little confused about reality...
These are Fantapolitics visions!
