Life would be shitty, but at least there would be no way to escape it.
If we could just ban these wedge polls we could all unite together!!!
the fact that you can even post a poll when it has been thousands of years since we have had even just one day where someone hasnt died on earth has me shaking and about to vomit.

Signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001
The USA PATRIOT Act is an Act of Congress that was signed into law by President George W. Bush on October 26, 2001. Its title is a ten-letter backronym (U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T.) that stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001".[1]
On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act:[2] roving wiretaps, searches of business records, and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves"—individuals suspected of terrorist-related activities not linked to terrorist groups.[3]
Following a lack of Congressional approval, parts of the Patriot Act expired on June 1, 2015.[4] With the passage of the USA Freedom Act on June 2, 2015 the expired parts were restored and renewed through 2019.[5] However, Section 215 of the law was amended to stop the NSA from continuing its mass phone data collection program.[5] Instead, phone companies will retain the data and the NSA can obtain information about targeted individuals with permission from a federal court.[5]
