    • Steve Dear And football! You forgot football. I got my Redskins!

      And McDonald’s!

      And we got a kick ass army!
      • Alan Archibald The following quip is attributed to Dwight Eisenhower: "Football is the perfect American sport - lots of violence puntuated by committee meetings."

    • Zach Zimet Capitalism also gave you those things to begin with.

      And xenophobia has increased not decreased over time in broad strokes.
      • Alan Archibald The upshot of capitalism as it relates to uneducated people (a descriptor that is qualitatively different from un-instructed people) has been to condition society to live in a matrix of pervasive consumer-unit stupefaction.

        Specifically, consumer-unit stupefaction means that anything resembling responsible citizenship has been replaced by dimwitted grasping after self-centered pleasure with little to no consideration for "The Common Good," "The General Welfare" or a truly social "Social Contract."

        Increasingly, we are ruled by the informal motto of The Republlican Party: "We Are All In This.... Alone."

        Orwell cuts to the quick.
