"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man."
— Joe Biden on Obama.
Socialism is just the modern word for monarchy.
D.C. has become a Guild System with an hierarchy and line of accession much like the Royal Court or priestly classes.
Private citizens are perfectly able of doing a better job without "apprenticing".

Hello Althea,
For a troll to think that what they say simply doesn't matter is devastating to them. If what they say doesn't matter, neither do they. It's crushing.
Well-adjusted people don't have to augment their arguments with personal attacks. The merit of what they say is the point made.
It is preferable to have thought-provoking conversations over emotion-provoking conversations.
There is plenty in this world to get emotional about without people provoking others for shallow and demented pleasure, for what is basically, perhaps a small short-lived adrenaline rush. Going from one of those to another in an endless loop is not healthy for the body or mind. The problem with trolling is the small endorphin rush a troll gets when their taunts are acknowledged is not sustained.
Personal Ignore Policy PIP: I like civil discourse. I will give you all the respect in the world if you respect me. Mouth off to me, or express overt racism, you will be PERMANENTLY Ignore Listed. Zero tolerance. No exceptions. I'll never read a word you write, even if quoted by another, nor respond to you, nor participate in your threads. ... Ignore the shallow. Cherish the thoughtful. Long Live Civil Discourse, Mutual Respect, and Good Debate! ps: Feel free to adopt my PIP. It works well.
