Looks pretty grim though.

Yeah, I try not to succumb too much to the gloom and doom thinking, but we have to be realistic.

You have to look for the small things to keep your spirits up.

I'm going to be at the most vulnerable age when the worst of it hits if I live that long, but I'll keep doing what little I can to try to reverse some of it.

The people who are making all these decisions for us have body guards and protection. We the little people will be in the thick of it.

Seriously, I wonder if either parties can see what's coming and care? They'll send their kids out of the country. I don't think they care. Politics and power has gone to their heads.

Hey, long time, no talk!!!

Yeah, as the saying goes, "for evil to triumph, good men do nothing." I'll be 40 this year so I think I'll be middle aged when the crap hits the fan. I'm not crippled by any means but I admit, I'm not 18 anymore either. B-) My father has always telling me "that I will live to see the United States no longer existing it it's present form" since the 1970's. You got to do what it takes to survive to see it to the other side.

I think the problem is that the Party Money Machine kicks in and a lot of politicos, willingly or not, seem to get bitten by some "brain (and morality/ethically) eating bug" and do things that benefit the system as a whole no matter if it hurts the poor or middle classed people or America in general. If President Bush or Senator Kerry sees any of us starving in the street personally, I'm sure they will help as best as they can. I do feel that both men are good deep down inside and would do the right thing in that case, but when it comes to politics, here comes that "brain eating bug," and they then switch to the Party Money Machine mode and go with the highest bidder.

I think we need to get away from that Republican/Democrat (Donkey/Elephant) divide and sit down and come up with ideas that will benefit America and her people. It should not be left/right but right/wrong. Heck, sometimes I read Jim Hightower when I get a chance, sure on many things, he is a bit of a moonbat on like the war on terrorism and so on, but on the economy and jobs issue, that guy is dead on center in my book. It's a shame that both sides are so entrench is that we can't come together and instead, keep pointing fingers at each other and/or become slaves to the Machine.
