You might figure it out, but you'd be hopelessly insane by then. A very large dose of Kool-Aid would help, however, if you must proceed with this dangerous effort. :sarcasm:

claim acting out of patriotism when committing a crime? They'd throw the book at us!

wankers. And it just goes to show how stupid people are that vote for these mindless fools. I thank God that Kay isn't my mother or wife or anyone I ever knew.

Mussolini: "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power."
