It was a question. I live between Boston and NYC. I visit both regularly, and I love them both. I wasn't speaking of specific cities, as if Boston falls, so falls Boston Falls (even if there was such a place as Boston Falls). Step outside your tiny mind and try to understand what I'm talking about.

Our government has ceased to function in any meaningful capacity. Major cities are collapsing (no, Boston isn't, and I'm sure we can point to lots of others who are not). Our federal government has turned into just a big spy center. We're parading petty spies to the media even as the government spies on us. You can stand your ground and shoot someone who looks like a bad guy you saw in one of your nightmares. If you work your whole life and pay into a pension or health care, you can be told to fuck off, because some rich people want your money. Seriously? I'm just posting flame bait?

Bite it, then.
