Also, Happy Thanksgiving. I'm vaguely thankful that I'm in a country with a stable currency, myself.

Western Civ died at Verdun, what's left is a large stinking eldritch abomination of a corpse that's choking humanity with its weight.

It's social democracy and the welfare state that's collapsing right now.Last edited by Heraclitus; November 25, 2011, 19:11.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

well that's one view. i mean people live longer, healthier lives, have good education, healthcare, a welfare state, advanced technology and more free time to enjoy it, but it also has more black people, or something, which probably makes it worse."The Christian way has not been tried and found wanting, it has been found to be hard and left untried" - GK Chesterton.
