#1 You mentioned evidence of Demoralization above, and I think we’ve all seen it. One need only consider the line at the post office, the indifferent employees, and the fact that self-serve stamp machines are no longer available (I was told they were prone to malfunctions)...then realize that’s where healthcare is headed.
#2 Destabilization — everything coming out of DC these days. Energy is one of so many examples. Rising fuel prices hits every facet of bringing food to our tables, for example. Adding to that, the pipeline is refused, corn is made into fuel, and taxpayer $$ goes into the green energy black hole. The idiocy also feeds into demoralization ... we see it here on FR; we fight it in ourselves.
#3 We are now waiting for The Event to be revealed. Clearly something is up with attempts to disarm us and demonize us while ignoring, refusing to prosecute, and releasing the real bad guys (and so much more).
I am trying to keep a humorous perspective on the nonsense, whistling past the graveyard, and joking that DC is on a “wild rumpus”.
Given the recent 2nd Amendment rush, and the Boston incident, I think that we will see bloodshed before the end of June.
Maybe I am wrong, we shall see.
