ParticipantWell put partypup, my sentiments exactly. The problem is stupidity rules with an iron fist. America sleeps as we slowly slip into a facist state. In the mean time, oil depletion is going to hit the already teetering american economy like the hammer of god.
We have become a country incapable of thinking and we deserve the incapable leaders that we elect.
The Amercian civilization is not unlike the housing bubble in that it is unsustainable. A few tweaks of the dials will not help.
The empire wears no clothes…
Everyone is in denial about something; just try denying it and watch friends make a list. For Freud, denial was a defense against external realities that threaten the ego, and many psychologists today would argue that it can be a protective defense in the face of unbearable news, like a cancer diagnosis.

ParticipantPartypup, Arraya, I am with you–what a sad state of affairs.
The train has left the station, and the world is on the brink of chaos, despair and death. Anyone remember the movie “Soylent Green” with Charlton Heston?
Many people don’t seem to pay attention and don’t seem to care. Many people are just too busy trying to meet basic needs, so that there is not much left over to worry about the greater good. Many others have been dumbed down by the media and have lost any critical thinking abilities. They just don’t know any better or prefer to wear the rose colored glasses, because otherwise, they might have to do something.
Aaaah….well…that was a bit off task. Ron Paul seems okay, but it could be that folks are just grasping at straws. Not crazy for Hilary or Obama either. The next election is going to be a tough one.
