CNC. I think what Imperator Fyron meant was that 20th and 21st century communication allows for more control. I am not sure about the bigger government comment but I did not read that in his statement, other than him saying it was part of the downfall. As far as disasters go you are right, but once again other than instant disasters (if you will allow me) such as tornados etc most problems are limited to loss of property not life thanks to better communication.
The House and Senate? Sure you have a point but to some degree, sometimes lesser others more so, both houses are limited by the threat of not getting reelected. On the other hand most incumbents are reelected. I think this point can go both ways.
Feed them to the lions, we don’t have that, but I would watch them on the sports channel. Especially when it involves leaders that did not get the popular vote.
Did I say that.
