Maybe, but my opinion is borne out of experience. Having to drive 40+ minutes for groceries, running a generator for power, a water pump to get running water, and shitting in an outhouse gets old.

Also, people are nice if you aren't a shut in. I like being able to wander over to friends' house without it being that much of a hassle.

The last place I lived, for around a decade, my polling station was literally in a senior's centre every time I had an election to vote in.

Conservatives have adopted the franchise model and applied it to politics. They conform themselves to head office (in this case Republicans in the US) and get to piggy back off the propaganda that gets put out by them. The US being the media powerhouse that it is, it's pretty effective. Alberta is the most obvious example of this.

What is it about the reactionary mind that makes dog murder not only not a shameful story that one might want to keep to oneself, but a story you actually want to tell others or even put in a book?

Can you really call it a 'signature all-caps style' when it's nearly impossible to distinguish from any crazy person's online forum screed?

Hamas isn't a territory. Gaza is. Israel is invading Gaza.
