In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them.

West Virginia
To clarify, he did not collapse, he had trouble catching his breath, but he was able to go next door, and call me to go back to the house. Dan then drove him to the hospital in the car. He did overwork himself, he drove all the way down in one trip and never gave himself a chance to recover before jumping in to take care of a 1 year old. Sucks that he went back to Mass., he was awesome to have around, great conversationalist...We built a room in the house for him to come back too.
