I go on them all the time, It usually takes me about two weeks to forget the pain and then I go on another.
Today, because it's going up forever, you'll never miss the boat.

The U.S. is fixable, but not by a politician.
Sunday thoughts.
Only a few societies in history have attempted large scale organization without a ruler. During antiquities the Israelites attempted a community based on a single document like a constitution or protocol, without a leader to enforce it. They had local judges to adjudicate conflicts if they were to arise, always using their written code as the foundation of their decisions.
The American experiment is another example of a similar attempt by splitting the central power into three branches and giving each state equal power to the one trifurcated federal power for checks and balances, attempting to adjudicate conflict based on a living (amendable) document.
Both of these ended of course, the first one due to the demand of its own people to have a king, and the second by a slow concentration of federal power over states, and then a further concentration of executive power over the other two branches.
Bitcoin represents another attempt at this type of political organization, in fact it represent the largest attempt to date as it's truly global. Will a living document written in silicon succeed where stone and parchment failed?
I must believe it can for I see know other means of achieving a free society of rules without rulers. A piece of code or a document is only as strong as its supporters, but when I look around I see strength and conviction. Let us never lose this conviction or tire of fighting for what's good.
