They all involve sheep. What's not to know?

So you use military force if there's a whiff or terrorism involved, even
when it my not be the most effective means. Are you sure that's more
accurate than what I said?

In what you wrote above, the words communism and democracy are largely
interchangeable depending on which ideology you believe in.

They're not too primitive, they're too complex. Everyone has their
definitions of what is good and what is evil. There is little commonality
between these definitions.

It's ironic that people who are too smart to engage in politics are
governed by people who are not as smart.
