We are about to find out how deep that streak of mean, really goes:
Don't work, then don't eat.
Don't pray, then don't complain.
Don't drive, then don't vote.
Don't invest, then don't survive.
Don't arm, then don't be secure.
Don't believe, then don't quote science.
Don't fall in line, then don't really matter.
Don't live in fear, then don't deserve freedom.
Don't stay healthy, then it's your own damn fault.
Don't stay employed, then you're just a lazy bum.
Don't be born rich, then better cater to someone who is.
Don't expect better, then you'll never be disappointed.
Don't help those in need, then they'll need you all the more.
Don't give an inch, then you'll be able to take, for miles and miles.
We about to find out what it's really like when "Simpletons rule the world ..."
(via both chambers of Congress, with a strong assist by the non-activist Supreme Court.)
