Hasn't our history always kind of been that way? Americans are schitzoid... One minute they scream for war, the next minute they're singing for peace. They say they want change but then they get frightened and want regulated stability. We can't stop voting ourselves pay raises whether it's so-called "free-health care" or mortgage deductions or social security COLAs or even tax cuts. And we fall for the the class envy card every time it's played. If it's not tax-evading greedy rich people we're beating up on it's the elitists in Washington who are sending us to hell in a hand-basket. It's kind of always been that way in our history though. But I have faith that in some way and in some form another morning in America will come along.
