Don't bother trying to understand anything

The issue, whatever it may be, doesn't really matter. The only thing that matters is whether it's Us or Them.

whew, both sides of that coin suck. If it is US, then you have to deal with the consequences, responsibilities as well as the aftermath of what it took to be US. And if it is THEM, then we are toast.

I voted them, I'm sick of us.

How do I know if I vote for "Us" that my "Us" is the same "Us" that you voted for? Maybe my "Us" is really your "Them" and so I have to vote "Them" But then my "Them" turns out to be to be Sencha's "Them" and I don't want to vote for those "Thems" and need a different "Them" to vote for so as not to be lumped in with your "Us" when it was really my "Us" that I wanted to vote for in the first place.

No empire can last forever, and there is nothing new under the sun.

The US will get its turn sooner or later. Just hope its not too hard of a crash... but I think I might be hoping in vain.

Us or Them? Hmmm.

Thus I choose....

Thus is better than thee or them.

Thus is the only thing standing between - you guessed it - "Thus".

Thus we know, but us and them?

Thus we be, accordingly to thus and thee.

Thus this ends, else I begin again.

This is a serious issue soon to face us all. And it should be dealt with in a serious manner.

I flipped a coin and it came up heads, which was 'us'.

So I voted 'us'.

And 'us' it is.
