The mere fact that we can LEGALLY WAGER on when wars are going to breakout and when someone will be killed/murdered shows that this country is morally fucked beyond repair.

You're correct, Rich.

It's just that this stuff is being advertised on TV.

I had friend, years and years ago, say to me one time:

"The world isn't round. It's crooked."

I'm guessing he probably heard that somewhere before, but it's stuck with me ever since.
