Without Communism/Socialism competing for our hearts & minds, Capitalism has nothing to force it to have a heart.

There was a security guard when I went to get a replacement card a few months ago, but IIRC she was sound asleep at her desk.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18359007443116549436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-54164528849591438682010-08-27T09:10:28.445-07:002010-08-27T09:10:28.445-07:00In Soviet Union, Social Security card applies for ...In Soviet Union, Social Security card applies for you!dah_sabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02600893678085625549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-85160657020317467872010-08-27T05:19:52.318-07:002010-08-27T05:19:52.318-07:00The U.S. is a nation of terrified ninnies.

A trifle chaotic, with the milling swarms of people, but no atmosphere of fear. Ditto for Canada. The bureaucratic HQ in Vancouver where you get your "Social Insurance Number" is like the Department of Motor Vehicles used to be -- drab, slow, but not paranoid. Even the border post where we had to do some technicalities after getting here -- low-key, blah.<br /><br />The American attitude in many places (thankfully not Jazz's) is "Oh, you've come to do business in a government office so you're bound to go crazy and try to kill everyone." What a sad fucking commentary from Our Rulers about how they see the populace. Except maybe it's not all that wrong.<br /><br />I stand by my prediction that America will be drenched in self-shed blood within the next five years...Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-33700230533066195372010-08-26T19:09:44.555-07:002010-08-26T19:09:44.555-07:00Um, I still have my original SS card.
