I am all for peace and getting along with everybody, but since somebody has to be at the top, what is so wrong with that being us, especially since we have the ability to govern for the common good. You whine about the rising costs of living, but when the shit hits the fan the costs skyrocket while the standards decline. Criticizing leaders is one thing (which is strongly encouraged), while reveling in the loss of our people's status-- and more importantly, our lives-- is utterly disgusting. I am absolutely furious right now.
