That's just wrong... Funny, but wrong.

Care to give a more accurate synopsis? I'm only vaguely familiar with everybody's favorite presidential gecko.

I think he just means "wrong" in the "I can't believe someone would compare Dunkelzahn to the Hulk, hah hah!" sort of way, not the "wrong" as in "factually incorrect" sort of way.

Are you trying to tell me, given the opportunity you wouldn't vote for this guy?

[Mithlas]

He'd have my vote. Consider the competition he'd be running against...

...his intelligence and probably anger-management would almost be guaranteed to be better.

[Mirikon]

I still think we should choose all our leaders by Thunderdome.

[Inconnu]

Doesn't radiation create a domain? And don't domains treat magic as (force) lower? That means that even if it wasn't lethal, a nuke would strip most of the hardened armor off a dragon like so much orange peel.

Considering a country stuck in a two-party system, that would probably be a superior way of doing it than it currently is.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Oh, we have multiple parties in the U.S.  But only the two with the biggest bankrolls get noticed.  Yaknow...since they pay the media outlets (hint: easier now since there are only 6 media companies in the US).

And down in Canada, any loon can basically say 'No, play with the numbers and make me PM', if they have enough corporate buddies.

Hooray for dystopic politics!  Even closer to Shadowrun!

*Looks at Harper's rule recently*

I just can't write stuff like this in fiction.  No one would believe it.

Next time you wonder how the hell a Corp can get away with shoveling all that shit, and not smelling it, remember the power of one single word - "No."

Different political oppositions keep on shouting facts at Harper, over and over. His response? "I advise you to check your facts." In the middle of the House of Commons. On national television. Live. Nobody called him on it.

That's how Shadowrun got to how it was. That's how a corporation can get away with murder. You bury all truth under a mountain of disinformation, lies, and bullshit.

The Opposition is lead by eunuchs.  If Jack Layton was still around...

OK, delving into serious Banhammer area, back to Dragons and Railguns.

THAAD and PATRIOT would give dragons some problems. Would have no issues tracking them at least.
