Man were screwed,?

Question

people are losing there homes at record rates. The price of gas is going to be like 5 bucks a gallon pretty soon. The jobs here are going to mexico and china. Our government is bailing out the banks with trillions of dollars ( we pay for down the road ). I wonder what is next..... i know, howabout a economic collapse and the country goes nuts. People shootin each other in the street over a candy bar or somthing and people running through the street naked.

Answer 1

That sounds pretty cool actually.

Answer 2

What people are loosing their homes at record rates.  Those individuals that CHOSE to enter into a contract where they did not have to pay a down payment, but would eventually have to pay a balloon payment.  Really?  The mean ol' banks chased down those poor innocent victims and "made" them take out a loan on a home they could ill afford.  Really?  I think it's time for all those innocent victims to rise up and demand that those d**n dirty bankers be sent to prison.  Shame on them! AND ohhh...don't get me started on those big oil execs...how dare they!  How dare they run a company that not only makes money for them selves, but for those greedy rotten #$%#$% who some people call shareholders.  No, how dare they provide a commodity to those no good consumers who dare use their product to get to their jobs.  Jobs that no one seemed to have a few years ago, but are now in abundance. Shame, Shame, Shame.

Answer 3

no it wont go that far, or maybe this is the calm before the

storm ?

Answer 4

It's the long, slow, and gradual demise of our economy, our democracy, our way of life.  The center does not hold the parts together any longer.  What we know will become irrelevent.  What faith we have in what we had will be overcome by gross distortions of aborted hope and trust...  

I hope I'm not around when it collapses, but i think it will, unfortunately.

(It's time to get poetic about this theme - some great stuff has been written about the demise of civilization.)

It won't be over for a long time and who knows what monstrosities will emerge from the violence that threatens us now to maintain our place, our wealth, our faith in our systems which slowly erode into dust, mud, and vomit-spattered Bush images.
