Reply #154: sometimes i feel exactly the same way

sometimes it seems the only thing that would work would be a total collapse, then hopefully, a rebirth that returns us to the core principles this country was founded on.

either that, or we resign ourselves to failing in this noble experiment.

complete failure, as the rich continue to get richer, and more removed from the reality THEY have created, for THEIR benefit, which WE have to live in, whether we like it or not, whether we can survive or not. they would truly be the masters, and we would truly be the slaves.

it is more likely that they already are, and we already are. we just haven't gotten to the point of accepting it, yet...

maybe that is the problem, we HAVE accepted it.

they live at a level that allows them to be completely unaffected, they can do as they please anyway. the rest of us are, literally, collateral damage.

it is, again, literally, two worlds that are very far apart, and getting farther.

and they have shredded the constitution in the process.

can you ever in your wildest dreams imagine that this country would tolerate the lies for war, a policy of preemptive war just because some country MAY do SOMETHING at SOME POINT in the future, complete destruction of a country that did nothing to us, be willing to torture, thereby putting our own troops at a greater likelihood of receiving the same treatment, accept being spied on, accept that we have no privacy, accept an excuse of a mainstream media that REFUSES to air the truth? and ALL of this being enabled by our very own democratic party leaders, who refuse to do hardly anything? (but "keep their powder dry", "pick their battles", and then give the pathetic excuse in the whitehouse everything he wants...)

our only consolation is that at least they will keep us entertained. because that's the only reason they get away with it. as has been said, americans are that unique combination of being the least educated, while being the most entertained, people on the planet.

between just trying to survive and pay the bills, working longer hours, we spend those fewer leisure hours distracting ourselves.

is it unconsciously, because we can't admit what is happening? or consciously, because we don't care enough to do something about it, have accepted it?

do we, the discontented, refuse to play, allowing total collapse, and a possibility for a rebirth with new leadership? or do we experience total failure to take our country back, with all resulting repercussions, which will probably end in collapse, anyway?

i only disagree in one way with your post.

calling someone a "cocksucker" is not an insult. look around you at where you are at. LOTS of cocksuckers here.

oh? it is just a figure of speech? this isn't deadwood.

whatever.... it indicates volumes. it makes you sound more like a bigot, than a patriot.

you know what i mean, vern?
