Now is the winter of our discontent ^h^h^h ... ^h

Or as Richard meant to say -
In these trying times, it is heartwarming to observe how we have all pulled behind our S^helected leadership and bestowed 100:1 blank checks and boundless affection as a bonus. Have begged that our dangerous utterances be pleasantly curtailed and that [next] our Corporations receive their capital gains soastoensureour continued Security. All good things flow from unanimity instead of fighting about stuff.

Perhaps this is a trend; we have passed well beyond the dark ages wherein we looked for certain er 'qualities' before granting deference - clearly we have been guilty of discrimination.. in that egregious past.

But no more shall we discriminate in anything:

Egalit\ufffd, fraternit\ufffd, uniformit\ufffd, homogeneit\ufffd have triumphed at last. No more shall we demand these elitist, imaginary qualities ... imagining that there are any important differences between persons!

Eine Partie! Eine Volk! Eine F\ufffd^h^hLeader!

After all.. species-intolerance is just another hurdle for Us-as-One to overcome next!

E Pluribus Unum !!
Y'all



Do you feel that lump in your throat too? Not to worry; it's just a benign cyst - not a sign that you've been assimilated..
