How it is now expressing itself is really something.

It's like a bunch of two year olds taking over the
sandbox from the adults and turning into ramrods
against anyone who doesn't want to give them
their way, since the adults left them with serious
weapons to use.

BTW, the real weapon behind all this sits behind
a red button, and has for a long time.
