Quote:This isn't WWII - this emergency has no end. It is hence, an unfair comparison. And yes, I'm well aware of the internment camps, both in the US, and here, as well as the various other measures in place.As my unpublished paper of 1991 described it, it is "The Not So Cold War." It has been since before the Wall came down, and it has only heated up since then. The irony is, it ain't even gotten off of simmer.
The Cold War would be a better one (And we all know what happened to McCarthy, there...)
Wait until the Chinese start tossing trumps onto the card table.
Things will get real interesting, real faat. May you all live in interesting times, and may I have enough Guinness to get me through them.
My nation's fate is now in the hands of Generations X and Whine, which is another reason that I drink.
