Irony, Sarcasm and Snide Remarks

 I remember when I was a kid, going to the polling place at the local junior high school. Everything about the polling place was clean, orderly and well organized. We had special voting booths which were only used for elections. I used to go into the booth with my dad when he voted. I had to behave myself because voting was serious business back then. The booth was plenty big enough for both of us. It had a curtain hanging over the entrance. The curtains were all the same: broad alternating vertical stripes of red and white. There were monitors guarding the booths to ensure that only one voter went in at a time. The voter was to remain undisturbed and in complete privacy. There were never any errors or disruptions. Everything always went smoothly. Voting day was like a religious holiday. Everybody got time off work to vote and some people were given the whole day off. Inside the voting booth there was a machine. The voter inserted their ballot into the machine and pulled the variou...

 The government of the United States of America is starting world war three and it will probably go nuclear. The math is not difficult to calculate. Russia is surrounded by NATO countries. The US government expanded NATO right up to Russia's borders in violation of prior agreements. They have sent a large portion of the NATO arsenal to Ukraine for the purpose of attacking Russia. American troops are already on Russia's borders in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. They have given the Ukrainian occupation government the green light to bomb deep inside of Russia. This situation cannot end well. All NATO countries are actively involved in attacking Russia. However, Russia is expected to abide by NATO's rules. NATO insists that Russia may only defend itself within the borders of Ukraine. How long do you think that Russia will continue to play by NATO's rules when American bombs are falling on Saint Petersburg and Moscow? They have nukes and they will use those nukes to ...

 The news is out that more than 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed in the war against Russia. That's almost as many as the number of Americans who die of drug overdoses every year. Our government doesn't seem to care about drug overdose deaths, so why should we care if 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have died? I care about Americans dying of drug overdoses, and I care about Ukrainians dying in a stupid war. It is bad government policy to allow a nation's populace to be exterminated by any means. Theoretically, the purpose of government is to serve the people and protect the welfare of the people. This is why I am against supplying Ukraine with weapons. To do so impoverishes Americans, and it kills many thousands of Russians and Ukrainians. Russians and Ukrainians are very much the same people. To support a war between them is fundamentally identical to supporting a war between Texas and the United States. Ukraine has a very ancient culture which goes back to the very b...
