    Whiteknife: Do you remember that movie we did with Johnny Morton? You were the Sheriff, and I was some generic Indian?

    Howard: Hey come on, don’t say that. Tallhand Mudlake could talk to horses. You played him with grace and dignity. It was a great role for you!

    W: Morton played a rancher who owned half of Missouri. And what happens when the cattle ranchers have more power than the Sheriff?

    H: The whole town burns down.

    W: The whole town burns down. Right. Vault-Tec is a trillion-dollar company that owns half of everything, and after ten years of war the US Government is broker than a joke. The cattle ranchers are in charge, Coop. Unless the People do something about it.

    H: I guess everything’s a conspiracy, right? Come on man, you sound like you’re in a cult.

    W: And you’re sitting here defending a system that’s ready to set the world on fire, Cooper. Maybe you’re the one in the cult.





  • It’s not a guarantee, though, but it should be. If you serve for, say, 5 years and have not been dishonorably discharged, you should be automatically eligible for citizenship.

    As of now, serving only exempts you from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You still need to be a permanent resident, know English, understand the US government and history, and demonstrate “good moral character” for at least a year out of the military.

    Permanent residency shouldn’t be mandated for soldiers. They’re choosing to serve for the US - isn’t that enough? The English and US government/history requirement should be waived under the assumption that they understand all of those well enough after training and serving in the military. Good moral character really is just that you haven’t committed any serious crime which is fine.


  • Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days – back in the real old days – it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scrotlin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys and scrat-scroblin’. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like “The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.” And that’s when they made the laws, you see. Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said “This is fair now. This is the law.” Once they were winning, they changed the rules up.
