While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a
privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
- You must reach a Gulch score of 10. You can earn points in the Gulch by posting content, commenting, or by other members voting up your posts.
- You may upgrade to a Galt's Gulch Producer membership to immediately gain these privileges.

There's a lot of room out here in the desert, though. And we'll be driving along WAAAAY away from nowhere, and there'll be a house or three. Not many more than that, though. I'm convinced there's a big population of people that already is where they - and we - would prefer to be.
For knowing the fallibility of human nature, Benjamin Franklin knew what he was talking about when a lady asked him what kind of government he had a part in creating.
He said, "It is a republic if you can keep it." Don't blame me dino if we can't.
Unlike you, Dino, I’m not sure I’ll ever vote again. Honestly, I do not think I’ll ever believe an election result again, whether it be local, state, or federal.
I have got a severe case of “I don’t give a shit anymore, because it doesn’t matter” apathy. My individual vote doesn’t matter; if the above vote count is accurate, then my vote would not have made any difference.
I’ve said it before here, and I still believe it: If 90 percent of registered democrats were in jail in November 2020, Biden would still have won the election. With my current attitude, voting seems like a complete waste of whatever time I have left.
Me dino gonna vote again. I see it as my patriotic duty not to give up on that when evildoers are hoping I will.
I will NOT go quietly into the night.
