Far Side

7/10

"The implications of seceding from the Union are so far fetched I never got into this one. Danny's "my country right or wrong" thing is so beyond belief. He is given constant sanctioning of his craziness. He is no patriot unless that means doing whatever you want to anyone, including shooting them when they are unarmed, sexually harassing anyone who is attractive, and acting like a buffoon in court. Apparently this show was supposed to end here with this flamboyant burnout...."

💡 Did You Know?

The Patriot Acts were passed by the United States' Congress after the 9/11 events and many of the acts have been voided since because they went too far violating the rights of American citizens and visiting citizens from other countries.
