1. Did you just wander in from October 2000? A lot has changed. You need to sit down.
It's a long story.

8. A twisted, violent, war-friendly culture?
A fucked up consumerist fantasy zoo?

We live in an overfed, hyper-stimulated asylum?

This country is so fucking insane on so many levels right now that it would take some kind of personality disorder to adequately assess it all, so you are probably perfectly normal.

15. I'll buy that for a dollar...
glad (sorta) that I am not alone in harboring those same sentiments and feelings.

9. Same shit, different year.
Granted it just gets worse as the years go by. Dunno, I blame the greed. The 80s don't have shit on the 00s.

10. I know, I
was watching some old repeats of my fav show Homicide, life on the streets. Circa 1996-1997, now that was an easier time. Even the shows about murder weren't that bad! I'm not kidding-that CSI shit is all torture and guts. Homicide was about character and emotion. Ah, irony.

11.  I wish I could go into a coma
I'll just fill out my ballot hoping the winner is my pick and have someone send it in for me . If all turns out bad just shut off the oxygen supply and let me go .

12. You need....
A couple of bottles of Scotch, Kleenex, and clean underwear. VERY long, sad, and depressing story, with added doses of fear for good measure.

I have been lurking under a different screen name whenever my mom got off her computer. Thanks for the welcome!

13. Beating down the multitudes
and scoffing at the wise.

Empire in a nose dive, wings set alight by arsonists.

Basically all the worst parts of the bible, just concentrated in the US.

The ground will reach up and smack us soon, and the next age will begin.

17. Bush managed to get the country out of the ditch by steering hard right...
Now we are free-falling over the cliff.
