  1. People like to say, "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result," but the REAL definition of insanity is the inability to distinguish fantasy from reality. That sound familiar to anyone??

  18.  @rayshepherd2479  Nothing to be sorry about... I didn't use my sharpest sarcasm knife, so it wasn't as obvious. I see California as a sinking ship. It may take a few more decades, but when it collapses and sinks, it's staking everyone there with it. There are other places to live. If you would consider being outside of the Texas Triangle, you'd probably find the politics a bit better. At least, for now... Texas is very slowly going the way of NY and CA.

  21.  @jalexand007  Now try scaling that infrastructure up 12✕ and adapting it to a completely different climate. Not as simple as in your fantasy world, is it.
