Can't do that

He should have worked at an abortion mill instead. They would have given him a medal:

A hospital nurse was jailed for life Tuesday, with a recommendation he is not released for at least 30 years, for murdering four frail and elderly patients and trying to kill a fifth.

Colin Norris, branded "evil" by the judge, gave all five women overdoses of diabetes drug insulin as they recovered from surgery on hip fractures at two hospitals in Leeds in 2002.

The prospect of collapse, which will be heightened by Obama, Hillary, and McCain, has me in a state of apathy mixed with melancholy. I haven't gone away, but I'm not going to write unless I have something to say.

On a less pessimistic note, Chalmers Johnson's blowback trilogy is on the way. Of course the subject thereof is the imminent collapse of the American Empire. Sigh.

Oh, come now.

What's to be depressed about? You can't buy this kind of entertainment.

I know, but part of me wants to believe that human beings aren't this stupid.

I'll try to keep a better attitude about it, but I'm having trouble staying interested.

Despair is juvenile avoidance of responsibility, instead organize.As for a direct comparison of conscious adults and polyglots...whatever.

Remember the Paul campaign? We tried organization.

The American people do not want liberty, nor do they deserve it. While I am saddened by what is to come, it is silly to pretend away the inevitable consequences of folly.

The Paul campaign left a mark, changed a lot of peoples consciousness. Could take a while to ferment?

That's the hope. Thanks for pointing that out.
