Odd
Did you know that a Google search for scary long necked canadian mutant doesn't return any references to Celine Dion in the first 3 pages?
At least not until this page gets indexed, I suppose.
Anyhow, I've been contemplating parallels in history. We currently have an elected President who has decided to subvert the bankruptcy process, long established in law, in order to confer extra-legal favors on his chosen cronies. So does this mean we're right about at the point where Julius Ceasar was appointed perpetual dictator? Or closer to the grant of powers to Octavian by the Senate? I am referring to events which can be considered the end of the Roman Republic and the birth of the Empire.
In any event, we are watching an attempt to change the country from a government of laws to a government of men. More depressingly, it looks like it might work.
