Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I seriously don't get the disconnect between the complete trust in government to provide a militia to protect citizens against catastrophic invasions, but no trust in government to provide scientists to protect citizens against catastrophic illness.
You clearly have not read the Constitution. In it? A militia. Not in it? Science.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I did read it! I remembered the part about the post office a couple of weeks ago!

Then what is your question??? Clearly guns are American and science is probably Communist or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

In news of the silly -- a friend just posted something on Facebook for "Jen P____, Martin A_____, and all my other geeky friends." I was all happy about being a named geeky friend. Like, "Sure, you're all geeks, but these two? Outstanding." I=ridiculous.

The question is about trust. There's trust in the government to do this enormous, dangerous thing (run a militia to protect us), but not to run another things like the USDA or FDA.
Not about whether these things are constitutionally required. It's like, "The world is a dangerous place! Poor MOAR MONEY into the military!" Which is then done. Which the government then controls and oversees and all of that. And it's fine.
The world is a dangerous place, poor more money into the CDC isn't really done. I'm more worried about zombies than a chinese invasion, so take it with the grain of salt.

It's the holidays. I couldn't find the compose button on my gmail for about 15 minutes this morning. I assume no one knows what anyone else is talking about.
