As the problems with the SS Ponzi scheme get closer and closer, and become harder and harder to ignore, more people are waking up. In that, there's hope. Whether or not it's enough, we're going to find out. I'm doing what I can, and this is by no means the only political windmill I'm currently tilting at. I operate under the principle, "Pray like it was up to God; work like it was up to you".
"Pray like it was up to God; work like it was up to you". I would be hard pressed to give a better recommendation than this. We forget, though, I think, that it IS up to us.
