Few truisms as I see them:
1. The United States of America will always exist. We will always have good and bad times, we will always have corrupt government (in varying degrees), and anyone who isn't swayed by any special interest does not live in the flesh.
2. America will never rise to economic prosperity until we install trade embargoes against nations like China. We shot ourselves in the foot. We forgave war payments, we gave away the Panama Canal, then Gitmo, and we rebuild what we bomb. And people are so damned surprised that when we act like Gandhi, we end up dressing like him too....except our "single piece of homespun" was bought at Wal Mart and made in China.
3. The only drastic changes that will take place are when people are brought to the edge of poverty and starvation. Even the Tea Party movement is a lot of hot air IMO. Why? Because there's so much good and bad press floating around that NOBODY CARES. We've been as a people shocked into numbness by everything. We have no idea what to believe, so we believe none of it, and don't give a damn. Americans vote for the candidate that looks stronger, and has a touch of Morton Downey Jr feistyness in them......as long as they don't smoke like he did, heaven forbid.
4. People have been talking about troubled times for thousands of years. We're all going to get old and gray, and no matter what happens, we'll make it there. Broke and/or hungry, maybe, but we will.
5. True change and reform will only happen the same way that the founders of this country did it.....they got pissed off enough to take up arms and take the country back. Nobody's that mad right now.
Still ain't voting
