Now this all might be a projection on my part..... meaning my own personal delusional he!!....and I will sit here trying to balance things out as best I can.....But the people of the USA have been on the gravy train since the end of WW2. If you have ever been to a 3rd world country coming back to America is like going to Disney Land. The wealth and availability of food and consumer goods is just staggering.
So Americans just can't get their minds around the fact that they can lose it all....it's beyond conception. Basically because it's gone on for so long......but the Great Depression of the 1930's happened and who among U is going to say it can't happen again. Remember those who were proclaiming the end of history? This is one where I would positivily hate to say, "I told you so."
There are times when one has to stand up and say, "No matter what, this is the side of the fence I am on." A lot of Americans don't seem to have goten the message, they seem to think things are still business as usual and things are hunky dory. I didn't invent the Shadow Defense Minister to the UK's speech or what Democratic Senator Biden, or even what Congressman Gephardt is saying. But I think Americans better sober up and realize exactly whats on the line.....
