What makes it "deranged"? Seems pretty underwhelming.

Were people "decieved" into believing they were up against an elite ruling class? Is there a plutocracy as you said? I said nothing about rebelling.

My issue was you said people were deceived into believing they as blue collar commoners, were up against the elite after saying in the previous post we are up against the elite.

Populism is nothing more than an emotionally charged campaign tactic that deceives uneducated blue-collar people into thinking that they’re up against an elite state that wants to disenfranchise them.

You posted the above just after posting the below.

Now, in that case, I'd pay a few thousand to meet some of the dead ones. Would be worth it I figure, what with all that reanimating and stuff.

I didn't think that hey were going to put up a barrier in the areas pictured, just the flatter areas.

Is that the terrain of Big Bend for its entire length along the river? Or is this like the propaganda for ANWR when they show a few beautiful mountains but the place they wanted the pipeline was a barren icy craphole nobody visited?

What are yall doing to get pulled over?

Speeding, and a rolling stop. Once I spun my tires when the light turned green and rolling out from the cloud behind me was an NOPD cruiser. He pulled me over, laughed when I told him I was sorry and had just bought the car. He gave no ticket and told me "just check who is behind you next time."

I've never been asked these questions when stopped. They always start with "License and registration and insurance please." And then "I stopped you because _________." That's about it. I've been let off most of the time with just a warning.
