“Political corruption, social greed, and Americanized quasi-socialism can ruin even the most wonderful places. California proved that.”

“[On Female Attraction to Men in Uniform] That male military persona feeds a subconscious, passive-aggressive female desire to dominate the warrior as he is perceived an iconic example of masculinity (particularly amongst traditionally warlike cultures).
