Jim reminds us that we get the government we deserve, and that:

As I mull over all this, I begin to think that Hillary is exactly what the USA deserves and, that should she manage to winkle away the nomination and get elected president, the outcome would be instructive and salutary. For one thing, she will be buried under an avalanche of political woe, beginning with the basic financial insolvency of everything in the nation except the Clinton family. Then she would proceed straight into an oil-and-gas clusterfuck that could take this society back to the eighteenth century economically.

Looking at the problem from this perspective, I can almost become a Hillary supporter. The political trouble she’ll bring on will bind and stall government. Not necessarily a bad thing. If I thought anyone currently viably in the race could win and accomplish something (Ron Paul), I don’t think I’d feel this way, but it’s obviously down to the three we see on television every day (if you watch television every day, that is).

Prepare. Like Jim Sinclair, I truly think this is it.
