We joked and posted comments about how utterly daft it'd be if the U.S. descended into a kakistocracy. We thought "ya, no one is that fucking stupid." And look at them now, a kleptocracy and a full blown kakistocracy - stupid and greedy all the time and somehow getting away with it, for now anyhow.

Been tika'd by my hosts. Leaving for Kathmandu in the morning.
Me, with tika on my forehead wearing a garland of beads and a scarf from my hosts.

He's senile and has always been easily manipulated through flattery. It's a dangerous, volatile mis of pathologies so transparent the likes of Miller are taking full advantage of his weakness to advance their personal agendas with his flattery induced blessings.

This is how nations fall.

Mutualism, a natural & relatively common phenomena among small, typically related groups, becomes exponentially more difficult in large, heterogeneous populations. The tendency is to become or remain guarded while appearing to participate, resulting in fragility & splintering of unstable coalitions

The A7c and A7cII are awesome; I'm a long time Leica rangefinder user and I find the configuration of these cameras comfortable. Sony are making some of the most reliable cameras out there. I have a Canon 5d mk 3 and a brace of Nikons, but the Sony cameras have quickly become my go-to tools.
