As an aging boomer .

[blues90]

I am really rather quickly loosing hope that america will even be the place we had hoped it would be .

I never thought we would still be in wars / attacks on a defenseless country no less .

I watch as all of the great speakers vanish and the best influences leave this earth , lately in startling numbers .

I just don't see much in the way of leadership these days , not one of the candidates tossing their hats in the ring are much more than political whores .

The money spent on all this activity , refering to killing and campaigns is outragious and this is being kind .

Our economy has been thinned out and washed down and sent away at an alarming rate . Our dollar is a sick joke . Technical advancements have done more harm than good by and large .

Society as a hole is asleep , in a trance or dream state that possibly only a direct bomb blast will break through .

The personal guilt being an american and watching all the death continue on as some sort of state of normal activity let alone the feeling of being helpless to do much about any of this is almost unbearable and deafening .

I felt there should have been millions out protesting last weekend not ruling out the efforts of all who attended in good faith and position and intent .

I am concerned about all of the pressing of the 2008 presidential babble swooping in to over come any of the little news we may have on the dangerous events we now face such as the drum beating for the attacks on Iran as well as what is happening in Iraq and Afghanistan .

We seem to have our priorities all bound up in a neat little sold for profit package and presented to the people as this is what we are to focus on , this unreality of a sick game being played out as our demise .

All I can say is hold onto your hats , this is going to be one hell of a rough ride where many fall out of the cart and are left behind .
