that both sides have been playing this game of creating dynasties. So it struck me a good point to note that.

Myself... it is to the point that I really am starting to not care about this much... really... beyond the anthropologist study of a foreign culture... and given some of the shit going on in this country... no that would not be out of the realm of possibility either, but that is for another day... perhaps another decade.

Incidentally I am slowly coming to a theory of what is driving all this shit, and it is not a nice theory. I hope to be wrong, but some of the markers are already there. On the funny side...

(And I cannot find the one of her crossing a dystopian future desert to save us all... should have saved it)

The theme is there, has been for a while.
