And if that doesn't work, I've had good luck with crying a lot.

Yes...your certainly a demon with that cane

based on the people ive seen and heard in California, i can say that these people do have an overinflated sense of awesomeness. And stupidity. by god, you cant deny how stupid the average "Whuuuuut?" california patron is.

There are too many ignorant and oblivious people. they need to start actually giving a dam about what happens indirectly to them outside their daily bubble. Then there wouldnt be rioting. because if so many people werent so caught up in their little bubble, they would know what theyre voting on, and actually understand the bill instead of getting some bull**** white lie summary from a dirty politician. All THEY heard was the main part of the bill, and not the little subsections that screw you over.

Some paranoid tea partier got into the whiskey and banged out a screed about the end of the world.

No Mookie, what you have is a paranoid former tea partier, he is also a paranoid former republican.
The reason why he is a former tea partier is explained in his rant about how the movement has been taken over by the very people it thinks it is against...which is the same reason he gives as to why he isn't a republican anymore.

No riots in America? A sample over 200+ years, in no particular order:

Cincinnati, 1855
The Battle in Seattle
Days of Rage
1742 Election Riot in Philadelphia
1979 White Night Riot

We're perfectly capable of blowing up. The difference is, we tend to come back together again.

On 9-11, it would have been perfectly logical to think that New Yorkers would have taken advantage of the chaos of that morning, but by and large, they didn't.

The OP takes a rather dim view of us, for one who claims to speak for us. I've seen more of my neighbors helping each other during community crises than exploiting each other.
