And paranoid schizophrenics always thinking someone is out to get them are fairly well prepared when, in the incredibly rare cases where it's true, someone is actually out to get them. The rest of the time they're just bat-#### crazy, which is 99.999999999% of the time.

Why does this make me think you're talking about having a lot of guns and military rations? If that's not what you mean, what are you talking about? Do you live on your own land, access to your own water supply, renewable energy, self-sufficient?

Well-prepared?

They don't really want to overthrow a government. They want to defund and overturn Obamacare, using whatever tools they have at their disposal. Are they playing a riskier game than they understand? Yes. But certainly they're doing it for ideological reasons, and are willing to take extreme...

It's likely if they can't afford it, there will be a subsidy to help. It's ironic to me that so many people who likely extoll the values of a free market, are really down on the idea of the insurance marketplace. It gives people information on policies, sets a level playing field, puts a lot...

It's all a battle of ideology. We'll see how this chapter plays itself out. It's interesting somewhat that the tea party gets a lot of flack for tactics they're using. From what I remember of our founding fathers, and the battles for independence, those folks used a lot of "uncouth" tactics...

Do people ever monger good things? Or is it always bad things like fear and hate?

As the number of representatives we have approaches the number of Americans, the more we approach a true democracy rather than a representative one.

Maybe the answer to this is more congress...dilute the crazies. Like issuing more stock to dilute ownership of a company. We need more representatives!

I think if that's what it comes down to, he'll do it. Why cling to a leadership position over a group of people who can't even agree under such conditions. Do the right thing, bow out with the approval of 80% of sensible americans, and let the loonies run amok.

This would need to be accompanied by some kind of shuffling of the districts for those kicked out.

Still no link?
