They can list it for sale, but who's buying it?

Even if free, the maintenance burden would be enormous. A modern day 
white elephant.

Never thought a coup in America would be welcomed by so many and yet, 
despite the despair of many (the majority?), hardly a damned whimper

Can't do anything to incite the baddies, that may cause them to drop the 
restraint they're so famous for. Apparently.


Good luck down there.
