This is why the country seems more divided than ever. Exchanging volleys and insults with people you will never meet simply invites increasing amounts of vitriol.

In the friendliest and sincerest way possible, I'm willing to meet anyone at anytime.
I am not insulting anyone.  I am only calling out reckless, misinformed, and dangerous rhetoric.

It also doesn't mean I'm willing to start it. As I said, I just speak the truth. We're still on Box 2, and I'll continue working within the system even though I know corruption has made it pointless to do so.  I just understand the nature of the opposition and their Quislings.

This has been addressed by many great men at many times more trying than this one.
Perhaps FDR said it best.  "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Lol, 
Your insistence that war is inevitable is hubris.  You don't know the future any more than anyone else.  Yet you spreading the message makes such a war more likely.  We need people to believe that working within the system is best for everyone, or else they won't, and chaos will ensue, a chaos that impoverishes almost all of us. Certainly you.

Exactly, you need them to believe a fantasy. That's why the Pubs and Dems are the same thing; they perpetuate the illusion that the system is best and that it works best for everyone. That's not true.

Lol, at FDR, you do realize that we were in the largest war ever just 7 years after he said that? It's like you want so badly to be smart yet you can't read the writing on the wall; even going so far as to abscond with my word for you. Hubris be thy middle name.
