48. So you are asking who is with you
to face death for the cause?

Your going to wait a long time. Things are not bad enough yet. The bread and circuses are still being dispensed from Washington (cash for clunkers anyone?) and the people are still satisfied with it. When we have genuine starvation, not to be confused with the chunky people at the food bank, and real poverty, will there be an uprising. For better or worse our social safety net is keeping that from happening. It is a form of "bread and circuses" itself. Heck I have been out of work since May. I was supposed to have a job interview tommorow only to find that the job was put on "hold"...Yet we manage with my wife working and my unemployment comp. In a different time my family may be on the street, and I may be charging with my pitchfork. My Dad was a depression child. I know what real poverty is from his stories. We aint there yet man...
