But then again, i thought prosecuting Bush/cheney was pretty black/white too... ~~~ Had a friend try to explain that we were involved in so many things because of so many other reasons...okay fine, but why can't the world be fixed in a matter of common sense? right?
He said we are involved in the oil nations all over because if we had $10 gas the recession/depression would be a thousand times worse. i said that peak oil is bringing us the same reality, and if that doesn't nail us, climate change WILL. He said Obama is trying to help ease us through these tough times more gently, I said it certainly didn't "feel" like I was being kissed while being ...well, you know...
I am surviving, daily, weekly, etc... on what I can do to make a few extra bucks and with the help of social services. otherwise we'd be homeless, or worse...living with my parents.. :eeek: There are people out there with fewer options than me and my kids, and they are holding on by thinner threads than I.
I was full of joy and hope when he was elected, and now my resolve and spark is fading fast... Beginning to think in terms of the 'end of the house of cards' that we consider to be "normal" life...it is over and it's not going to get better...meet the new boss, same as the old boss, etc... May as well just mind my own garden and take care of my own tribe - feels like the frontier all over again...
