Was it worth it?

I try to avoid the political here - actually, I try to avoid talking politics everywhere anymore. Hard to tell just looking at someone whether they are an insane cretin or not, so it's best avoided in its entirety. So, while I have numerous thoughts on the debt ceiling fooferaw, I will not be sharing them here. I know, I know - you come to this blog for solace and instruction on all areas of life, but this one? We will have to let it go.

That said, this ad was on the back page of a section of the DDN yesterday. Does a society wherein shit such as this happens/goes unnoticed really deserve to survive?
