Well, Philip, good thing you didn't have a gun to your head on that guess. "Philip, answer yes or no, has Brian ever been to a totalitarian country, lived in one or had a gun to his head? Yes or no? Wrong answer and we pull the trigger." Well, you assumption would have been a last one, sir. Have lived and still living in one now for 25 years. Have had corrupt and drunk police put guns to my head as well as mafia demanding payment. Have lived with the effects of more corruption than you have seen in all those seasons of The Walking Dead. As to "drug company and paid lackeys"...seems the rabbit hole is getting too deep and so I will just say--you are wrong. My assumption, might also be wrong, is that you are a Trumpist; Foxified and thing that there is some great big scary conspiracy tearing America asunder--on the front of the conspiracy, you are right, it's called the Republican Party.

All rhetoric aside, the country where I live is the example of what America will become--is almost-- thanks to Trump (ists), rightwingism and the lies of right media.
