A realignment that will make the partition of India look like child's play, but in my mind, I don't see a way around it. Every cycle, it gets worse and worse.. We simply can't live together anymore. I'm to the point now that if Oklahoma or South Dakota got nuked, burned to the ground and rendered uninhabitable, I'd shrug, figure most of the wankers deserved it and go about my business like nothing ever happened. I cannot stop hating those people.
