[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2597547, member: 1294"] For the record again I'm not defending Lehmberg's actions concerning her DUI.

The facts behind their dire circumstances and of their antagonistic government become a source of cynical psychological gameplay rather than a source of legitimate concern. Their desperate need to maintain their normalcy bias creates a memory and observation vacuum in which all that runs counter to their false assumptions and preconceptions disappears forever....
