it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.
I think you'd fit in a 12" or at least a 16" firework mortar
You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Think that's bad? Wait until the 17th of October when the debt ceiling is reached and the U.S is possibly forced to default.

It'll make the financial crisis of 2008 look like mundane in comparison.
Existence actually has two broad meanings despite its apparent meaningless. The constant reconciliation of all its parts, and the conservation of any closed system as a whole.

Morality can be extrapolated from these meanings to make these two commandments of godless morality: 1). Be in harmony with one another and 2). Care for the environment.

Some of the things they shut are ridiculous.  The National Mall is closed and it's illegal to  go and look at the memorials or even walk across the grass.  I'm not talking about going in anything just walking around outside.  Same goes for the National parks, I understand the shutting down of services but you are not permitted to enter and use the stuff that doesn't require any.  They are taking a big chance with this after all the doom and gloom hype  as they did with the sequester, most people will be unaffected and they might just begin to see we don't need such a big government.  If they continue and  they don't reach some sort of agreement before the 17 and everything crashes I feel everyone will blame the Tea Party with their no compromise bullshit and rightly so.

I blame the tea party, I blame Obama, I blame the house and senate, and I blame an apathetic citizenry. Its all our faults, man.

It is far better for people to hate you for doing the right thing than for people to love you for doing the wrong thing. Never ever forget that.

Can't you guys even just imagine it?

Forget practicality, or your experience....can you just....imagine?

It's there. It always was.

I do also but in the past they would get together and compromise,  the Tea Party has taken that off the list of options in general,  I am not saying the Democrats have no fault but they seem to be at least open to talking about it.  I feel that they really need to just replace everyone in both houses regardless of party and set term limits

I'm kind of excited about this. You know that feeling of relief when you finally break up with someone who was draining the lifesource out of you?

I get an inkling of that wonderfully euphoric feeling when I think of the government disappearing. Time for some rebuilding....so what are people's rights when this happens?

Don't burst my bubble! I am happily imagining we can just take over everything.....

I want to see them hang from the lampposts. Won't happen this time, though.

I would also rather shoot for a best case scenario.
