Is this boring? Or necessarily dystopic?

I must admit that I was conflicted by the same thoughts, until I rationalized that we're quickly accelerating to the point where the answer to both is, "perhaps!", if not, "yes!"

Americans have apparently shored up the construction of their White House since the British burnt it down during the War of 1812. I won't stop anyone from trying, but it's going to be one Hell of a tall order logistically speaking...
