You know vet, the feeling I am getting these days? It’s actually very similar to the weird loopiness I was feeling the week after the big earthquake last March. Everything looks the same, but somehow everything feels less substantial. The ground seems to be moving all the time, even when it isn’t.
But this time, it’s all coming from the news. The markets are falling, there are riots everywhere, flash mobs have evolved from being a cute and harmless past-time into something far more brutal and inexplicable...
And even more sadly is the gut deep realization that whatever is happening — this is just the beginning.
That sums it up pretty nicely.
Pretty sad to think people (in the article) think this way though. I guess that should be a given based on the level of insulation they blanket themselves with.
Waking up is hard to do.
And now I’ve got Paul Anka on my mind, sheesh.

I’m familiar with that feeling.I too feel it. You have a good description of it.
All I can offer at this point is to mentally prepare yourself. It has the potential to get really wild.
I’m right there with you, Ronin.
And I’ll add one other gut feeling, a lot of this is being orchestrated by forces hostile to America and our way of life.
I’ve been feeling the same way.
Actually I’ve been wondering if this is how Germany felt just before the rise of Hitler? Is what we’re seeing similar to what Germans saw and felt before the horror really started?
Or Italy and Mussolini, Stalin, Lenin, Mao...we study these people and their warped philosophy, but they had to be brutal leaders. Did those people who didn’t go along...feel like we do today?
As crazy as it seems...we all see the train in the tunnel and realize we’re powerless to stop it. It is not slowing down, but picking up speed...
That's very well put, Ronin!
That's how I have been feeling lately. I'm not sure exactly what triggered it, but for some reason I am no longer feeling positive about our ability to stabilize and instead I have a sense that we are just holding our breaths until something happens that is going to make it all topple.
I feel the exact same way. A very strong and palpable sense of very unpleasant anticipation. Not anticipation in the usual sense of waiting for something good and happy, but waiting for a terrible storm, or forest fire, that you know is heading towards you.
I considered the Norway slaughter a major turning point, of course so many different things are heading off the cliff, but that somehow seemed to be as though a corner was turned.
