the great fork war is inevitable. and we know what is on

the other?
the miners' mystery forks? our gadget,

to wear bedsheets once and poof.

their own mind some sort of major role in
the world is novel.
decimation: like
the national assembly in revolutionary france, congress feels
that
they can make policy about anything whatsoever
decimation: mircea_popescu: in
the us it is customary
to label any policy whatsoever as 'reform'
decimation: asciilifeform: I finished 17 moments of spring,
thanks for
the recommendation. It was an interesting show
mircea_popescu: consisting principally of
throwing out 80 years of accumulated gunk masquerading as "reform"

the Republicans in control of both houses and a second-term Democratic president wielding
