"Let's hand out the popcorn."

I read that, and I don't disagree with you. What makes this all so crazy is how it's leaving us unprepared for not just one, but a list of difficulties sure to be confronting the US, and the world as well. We in the US have recently, graphically, been shown that we've basically lost our nation. We know, now, how much this corrupt admin is willing to cost us, the lives ruined and lost needlessly in Katrina and the floods. Then Rita, shamelessly used as "we done better this time", when it really wasn't, and we watch these ordinary Americans that "might not be able to declare bankruptcy", "might not ever be able to move back", and personally I wonder how many ways that might happen to my family. It seems like, on top of the oil and global warming issue worries, food and pollution issues, that there's a terrible natural disaster every other week, the kinds that kill people and ruin millions of dollars of human construction. And then a pandemic flu, maybe, if they aren't lying about it, and did I mention depleted uranium ...damn, forget the popcorn and just hand out the beer, you know what I mean?
