  1. Can’t we still try to enjoy and appreciate the positive things in our lives?

    I don’t think it’s an either/or proposition though. Put it another way, isn’t this lifestyl that you enjoy and appreciate worth preserving by questioning our economic policies? Or at least emailing your representative and encouraging them to fight on behalf of individuals and not just banks?

  2. She mentioned the Beatles (uh-oh. You know what THL is going to say).

    And I am going to agree with biff ( don’t get used to it, biff!)and M4L said. All I can do is hold on and try to muddle through. Like we have a choice? But unlike some of those who are just thrilled at the thought of all of us going down, I think most of us will be trying to help one another up.

  3. “Most, if not all of us or not acknowledging the enormous mess we’re in, but what else are we to do other than do our best to stay employed or find a job, protect our loved ones, put food on the table and a roof over our heads? Can’t we still try to enjoy and appreciate the positive things in our lives?”

    That type of thinking got us into this mess! Biff when people was screaming years ago that the Mutant Asset Bubble was unstainable people Greed was used to ignore that fact. I’m sorry but I don’t buy it! We are in a Depression and the earliest estimates is 2023, yep you read that right 2023!

    The ignorance of Humans just astounds me! The state of California is paying people with IOU’s????!! How many states are watching and hoping it goes thru, maybe your employers will pay you in IOU’s…

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…

  4. M4L at 10:32, you hit the nail on the head.

    Most, if not all of us or not acknowledging the enormous mess we’re in, but what else are we to do other than do our best to stay employed or find a job, protect our loved ones, put food on the table and a roof over our heads? Can’t we still try to enjoy and appreciate the positive things in our lives?
