[OT] The Bush-bashing thread.

[Caduceus]

With six years between releases, you have to keep busy somehow.

The Nightmare Begins
Some time in the not-too-distant future, a president is supposed to step down, and we the people elect a new one.

Then all of a sudden, there's an announcement of a new deadly virus/flu/plague outbreak. Thousands of civilians die -- even friends of people you know. The president calls it a National Emergency, and the national guard are called out to distribute vaccines. They are mandatory innoculations, enforced at gunpoint. And they become annual required injections.

People start disappearing, and a news reporter mentions that some of the worst infected were taken to FEMA emergency quarantine facilities. They look amazingly similar to prison death camps, with facilities to gas the whole lot of them.

Then people start to notice that folks are disappearing who they knew weren't sick. Protests over missing friends and relatives are met by Homeland Security, and they are also carted off to Social Distancing centers.

Preists and pastors begin a campaign of how important it is to obey your government in these troubled times, and faith in God and your leaders is important.

And as the army marches through the streets of it's own country, the president announces that he will have to remain in office until the crisis is resolved...

But what kinds of bushes line the avenues of the FEMA centers? If they're hibiscus, I ain't gonna. Uh uh. No way. Not me.

Toxicodendron vernix

The bush that really MUST be bashed, cut down, trampled, burned and finally buried 100 meters underground is:
Coca

[StarShadow]

NOT!

There's nothing wrong with Coca. People in the Andes have been chewing the leaves for thousands of years with no ill effects. It took the 'white man' to concentrate the active ingredient in the leaves forty thousand times and make a dangerously addictive drug.

*sigh* Somebody just had to dredge this fact up so that any further comments would be derailed and become polemic and politicized thus destroying whatever surrealist humour this thread wished to offer.

Somebody lock this up before it becomes another one of those argument threads.

Edit: by the way, I hate those thorny bushes. You know, the type that people use for making hedgerows.

I think someone's been watching too much V for Vendetta.
