    “Because we are free men, we will be free to measure liquids in liters and milliliters… but not all liquids, only soda, wine, and alcohol because for milk and paint we will use gallons, pints, and quarts, god willing”

    “How many liters are in a gallon, sir?” “Nobody knows.”

    “Why not use meters and kilometers?” “We sill, soldier. But only in certain unpopular sports like track and swimming.”


  • I don’t think this is something we have to worry about in the near future and I don’t think it will happen under Trump. What concerns me is the way the “system” is being set up so that alternative points of view or other parties just won’t have a chance to win an election or survive a lawsuit.

    The groundwork is being laid so that people way more extreme than what we are seeing now can come into power and then stay in power without any way of removing them.

    The current administration is setting things up where in order to “count” you have to be 1) loyal to Trump and 2) loyal to the republican party (don’t want any RINOs!). Heck, you can subscribe to typically republican principals (lower taxes, lower spending, right to bear arms, strong military, etc…) but you aren’t a “real” republican unless you un-waveringly support Trump.

    But a true patriot is loyal to the Constitution. But now, you can’t be a republican and be loyal to the constitution, you have to be loyal to Trump. And that is setting things up to go very badly.
