And while we were doing that, the evil bastards like the kochs kept at it. They never rest. Grubbing for power and hurting people is all they live for. Like you want to camp with your grandkids or weave a rug or plant tomatoes, they want to control everything and hurt anyone they can. It's what they do. They never quit. We gear up and get involved and beat them (because they are so very wrong) and then go back to our real lives. They just do it again. Think of pink Orcs. They work for satan and never tire. We just want to put our feet up by the fire, eat a good meal, and admire the view. They want to step on you, take your food, and despoil the earth.
