“Government shuts down, nation descends into riots, looting and cannibalism.”
“The government shut down! We can do anything we like,” shouted Sam Hasbley of Grassley, Iowa, while tearing the tag off a mattress despite an explicit warning label forbidding such a dangerous course of action. “Tear yours off. The government is shut down. It can’t stop you.”
Eyewitnesses spoke of further horrors. On a quiet street in suburban Massachusetts, a man brought out a set of highly illegal lawn darts. In Maryland, there were allegations that an entire family had begun digging ditches to collect rainwater runoff. With the fall of the government, citizen activists took it upon themselves to chronicle the culture of lawlessness. Men played Gibson guitars made of wood imported from India, but not finished by Indian workers. Women bought cold medicine without a photo ID. Children went hours without hearing lectures about the environment.
Heh. Read it all. You will be horrified.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

yes and its a pitiful sight that Most so called People , or at least humans,in this United States are no more Brighter than what has been displayed in the article.
Watch for a move by this administration to find a way to start real riot in some big city.
I agree, confusion and tension is essential to maintain “control” when all you are selling is control. I have to believe that the Constitution is stronger than these tactics and in the long run becomes stronger in relation to the degree it is tested. This political atmosphere is precisely what the Constituion was designed to counter act.
They already sent out paid protesters to confront the wwii vets. Remember the violence at the TP protests when Obamacare was passed didn’t start until Obama sent the unions out to fight in the streets.
Fundamental change: Everything in the wonderful, newly imagined world of the Marxist / Socialist Associated States Of America will be entirely free of bias, competition, hurt feelings, profits, healthcare, incentive, capital, pocket money, private property, firearms and anything else that would distinguish an individual from the collective. These people must be denied their dream, Republicans hold strong!
And keep in mind that both party’s have delivered us to this moment in time, that’s why there must be real and substantial change executed by the people of America.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says he would “think about changing” the Washington Redskins’ name if he owned the football team as he waded into the controversy involving a word that many consider offensive to Native Americans.
Obama, in an interview with The Associated Press, said team names such as the Redskins offend “a sizable group of people.” He said that while fans get attached to the names, nostalgia may not be a good enough reason to keep them in place.
“I don’t know whether our attachment to a particular name should override the real legitimate concerns that people have about these things,” he said in the interview, which was conducted Friday.
I am offended by the sports name ‘cowboys’.
The name itself represents an armed force of ruffians who drove native Americans off of their land and took it over for their own industrial needs. Killing thousands of natives along the way.
They have raped the land and stigmatized millions of native Americans by calling them “redskins”.
They originated the idea of ‘redskins’ and any reference to them should be stricken from out entertainment and education systems.
Sarcasm off.
I am a long time Dallas fan. Since way back when Roger was throwing the ball.
I haven’t seen government employees work so hard in my life: trying to convince the public how important they are.
83% of government is still operating.
Where is the line where a government employee says no?
After one group of veterans went around the barricade, “the park ranger told them the wall was closed,” NBC’s Mark Seagraves reported. “Later another group of vets showed up and moved the barricades. At that point, the memorial filled with vets and tourists. That’s when police came and moved everyone out.”
That whole piece was very good, but I thought the Gibson guitar and Elizabeth Warren lines were especially saturated with genius.
Never.. that’s why government employees are the world kinds of human beings. They care more about “avoiding termination” than they do anything else, including their moral responsibility.
Love it! Thanks Bob. I see clouds outside my window – I think I will collect some rainwater for my garden (even though my town forbids that but the local Home Depot sells rain collecting barrels???). We the People.
Q: Why does your local government forbid the collection of rain? Mosquitos?
rain barrels collect democrats . blood thirsty ones. and they want to Outlaw gardens so you have to consume the Drugged commodities
