You know you've reached banana republic status and normalized treason when criminals protest openly outside the White House without fear!

So much for "in the shadows".

The "shadows" were abandoned years ago.

Are we there yet?

In many countries,  its illegal for LEGAL aliens (let alone illegal ones) to protest against the government.   It's a deportable offense in many countries, including,  get this,  Mexico.    So for example,  you as a US citizen decide to retire to Mexico, legally,  to live, you have no right to protest against the Mexican government (your property rights are restricted as a non citizen as well, something the US doesn't restrict for foreigners owning property here).   You will be quickly deported and prohibited from reentering if caught doing so. 

You have to shake your head every time the Mexican government wags its finger at our immigration laws,  when its own laws are far more strict and more strictly enforced.   I only wish we had their immigration laws.

  • Hippies smell bad. Go away, hippie.

Not hard: Visit Mexico and scarf down a big plate of huevos rancheros with fresh fruit. Then wait a few hours and voila, instant green flesh tone along with complete evacuation of digestive tract. Be prepared to spend some time near a toilet.

Plus, if you want some alone time, tell the curious that you think you might have ebola.

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

I may be wrong, but I thing that's a little different shade of green.
