The only thing keeping this thing together is the thin veneer of civility. Everyone gets it too. Our society is just a powder keg ready to blow, and all it will take is one event to kick start the proceedings.

Great link on drones.

And not to rain on the powder keg parade, but after having done this job for 4 1/2 years. I no longer think anything will wake up the American people. Strike that - take away cable television and the powder keg will blow.

I will keep my seat belt nearby. But any optimism I once had has been destroyed by the depression of running this website. Nothing wakes people up. It feels like we're all just yelling and screaming into an empty arena. The populace isn't listening. Yet.
