The actual article, by Chris Pacia (who links to and credits PuffyHerb on Reddit for most of the thinking behind it), is here:

    Well, actually we still do have a rule of law society in the US. If we don't now, then lets face it: we never have. There is nothing you can point to that's really any worse than anything we've done in the past. Maybe you can point to a five year period some point in the late 19th early 20th where we weren't, but for the most part, its always been like this.

    Perhaps that's why, in the real world, conspiracies are *still* not widely believed. Thank goodness. Well, except for theories about global warming and other environmental catastrophes being hoaxes by liberals.
