Thankfully. You do have a useful purpose on this board, however. You show how deranged and idiotic a lot of Americans have become.

You would not have used that analogy if you dabbled in vintage audio, where a cardboard box is the second most important.

I have felt for years the GOP was a party in search of a Dictator. Due to their "my way or the highway" tactics in governing. States like Indiana Kansas Kentucky Michigan and so on, the GOP gains control and ram their agenda down the throats or the citizens.

My hope is in our country being strong enough to weather the coming assault by the right. The youth of this country will be the deciding factor. For like in my youth there was an unpopular war going on and a draft. It was the youth once awoken that forced a change upon the establishment. I see the majority of the young today, not much for sacrifices and hard work. So will they roll over and accept the new wave or fight back? Only time will tell.

A lot of vintage/antique things are like that. If you have the box they came in, that makes the value go up. Sometimes the box, if it's in good condition, can be worth more than the item.

However, I stole this line from a movie I recently watched entitled "I am not a serial killer" That's why I put it in quotes.

I can't find the movie quote, but in the book it's based on there is the following exchange:

“I've been clinically diagnosed with sociopathy,' I said. 'Do you know what that means?'
'It means you're a freak,' he said.
'It means that you're about as important to me as a carboard box,' I said. 'You're just a thing - a piece of garbage that no one's thrown away yet. Is that what you want me to say?'
'Shut up,' said Rob. He was still acting tough, but I could see his bluster was starting to fail. He didn't know what to say.
'The thing about boxes,' I said, 'is that you can open them up. Even though they're completely boring on the outside, there might be something interesting inside. So while you're saying all of these stupid, boring things I'm imagining what it would be like to cut you open and see what you've got in there.”

The coming assault by the right?

Dude, that assault has been going on since about 1970.

Yet you applaud the most conservative cabinet in decades, owned lock, stock, and barrel by Goldman Sachs and the oil industry. Congratulations, you've been conned but are too proud and stupid to admit it.

And here is the first assault by the Freakablicans.

North Carolina Governor Signs Law Limiting Successor’s Power

He has signed the first bill but no decision yet on the second to also limit the incoming Governors powers. Wonder about the legalities on these two bills.

I said it was a mistake at the time, but I just got poo-pooed by the bots here who assured me that Obummer was playing some kind of long game that would hurt the Republicans in the election.
The liberals here were strong for a recess appointment.

Will be happy to provide quotes if you insist on doubling down again....
