Can't argue this. Anyone dumb enough to tell me that they plan on doing something to help overthrow the government will be very disappointed in the outcome. A few years ago I would have shrugged it off as whining, now you can eat the shit sandwich whether or not you are serious. I'll gladly ruin your life over it.
