From Ishmael:
In France, food prices rose by 65% between 1770 and 1790 but wages increased by only 22%. Price increases were attributed to government failure to prevent profiteering. Poor harvests throughout the 1780s, culminating in the most severe winter for decades in 1788/1789, created a rural peasantry with nothing to sell, and an urban proletariat whose purchasing power had collapsed. The other major drag on the economy was state debt.
Sounding familiar?
Indeed it is. Not that I’m suggesting anything, but lately I’ve noticed quite a few writings on Teh Intarwebz that include sentiments symbolized by things like this:
…etc.
Cometh the time, cometh the mob. Just sayin’.
I’ve been obsessed with the choices for your post about 15 socialists to hang, in order of preference.
My list turns out to be a complete mish-mash.
Maybe if I divide the choices into categories, like global, national, and local. Another way could be political and governmental, entertainment and sports, high-tech and science.
Given enough thought, I could fill each category to maximum and have no room for any others. Could we act like the government, and raise the ceiling?
that was a good thread
I like the idea of wrapping the rope around a strong limb and hanging an imbecile from each end. Save on rope

Pinochet Air.
One way fare.

Personally, I’d like to see the “SPLATT!” with my own bare eyeballz when they hit the ground from about 500′ up.
But then, watching them do that frantic rope dance while the spectators jab them with pointy metal objects would be fetching too.
Why not do both at once? Win Win!
