The ranting impulse is a form of prophecy or truth telling. There used to be a church of Ranters in England. They were sectarian dissidents against the Anglicans. Many other people, such as Muggletonians, Reveites, Quakers, Ranters, Puritans, etc. hated the Anglican model of Christianity. A rant was a guttural improvised speech. Usually filled with vulgarity. Always telling the truth. A good rant presents the very opposite of genteel (Frankish) manners that were popular among the wealthy Anglicans in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Have you begun rewriting the Constitution as yet? Or writing a new one? Being fearful of chaos is exactly what got us into this mess. Allowing the perfect people to run the world, lol. About time us less-than-perfect ranters had a role. We got offered a respite from chaos (security) by our civilizations as an offer we could not refuse (see the Godfather). Unfortunately we fell for it - still fall for it - and then suffer the consequences of the full blooming of chaotic horror these godfathers bring down on us. Time to break the cycle of abuse.

I think this is the nuttiest thing I've read since Calvino's Cosmicomics. Which by the way, is one of the most sublime compliments a humble literato like me can give.

I know Canada a bit, been there a couple of times, it's a very beautiful country, every country is actually beautiful. It's really only a few individuals at the top, the stupid, too greedy, who ruin it all, anywhere.
