Bull SHIT-
That is all...

Just sayin'.

Discuss or not-
I really don't care anymore.

8. Thanks for assuring me that I am not alone.
Now and then, there is a voice of reason on DU-
Not so much these days as in days gone by,
but none the less- it happens.

BHN to Solly Mack :shrug: :loveya:

19. You're not alone, BHN
It just feels that way when the mind reels from the magnitude of it all.

:hug:

Pardon me for speaking the truth.

5. We've lost the country- that's what's going down.
And frankly, I don't know what we can do about it.

4. Step one is realizing it's all bullshit.
Step two is detachment. Or at least getting stoned. Or drunk. Or both.

Step three is finding the absurdity of it all immensely entertaining.

I know there's a bunch of other steps, but I'm too tired and wasted to go there.

:P

6. Hmmm...I think I'll opt for the step where I get drunk.
I watched a C-span segment with Helen Thomas and
high school students asking her questions.

The break from reality versus propaganda has never
been made more evident.

I wish Helen were running for president.

9. No cable is a good thing- no need to wallow in the hopelessness of our predicament
Now, can I come visit and plant something in your garden?
I'll bring my guitar and we can sing old Bob Dylan songs to the plants.
:hug: :loveya:

13. You're welcome anytime! The temperature has finally risen above zero for the 1st time in almost
2 weeks.

My little cabin and 10 acres will paid off in full at the end of March. I've been hauling water for 10 years. I'm thinking I can start saving up enough money to get a well put in, now that my place will be paid off.

Paying to watch a bunch of crap on TV is WAY down my list of priorities. Paying for internet is a necessity, however. :)

11. Think your vote counts? Think again.
And what possible good can come from a vote
for more corporate owned candidates?

Did you fail to notice how the 2006 democratic win
changed NOTHING on our slide into the abyss?

So what, now you think corporate owned, Holbrooke/ Clinton or Brzezsinski/Obama are going to save us?
What part of "WE have lost the country" do you not understand?

15. Thank you, I understand now.. And I totally agree... Yep, we are in dire straights....
I actually never thought that any of those people were the answer... Oh and by the way, I am in the six decade category myself so I have some understanding of history as it were...

14. It's okay to suck at riddles- not understanding the structure of political power is another thing-
One that I would be fairly certain I am wasting my time on with you.

18. So now you are telling me you are above me, is that it? You laid the form out...
in the first place, so its up to you to explain yourself when it comes to your coding and then asking people to discuss....

I think that things are a hell of allot more dire than even you are aware actually...

20. Sorry, I just don't fathom how ANY thinking person can ask- "Waddaya mean, we've lost the county?"
I have no clue as to how long you have been following the
story- but in light of your question, I would guess not long-
doesn't put you above or below me- just means we are
viewing the situation from two different perspectives,
knowledge wise.

No harm, no blame.
And whether you like it or not-
We HAVE, lost the country.

23. Sorry, but I am done with "We've lost the country" discussion... Cause I don't ...
believe that for one minute... The American people are stupid, and probably won't get there asses off of the couch anytime soon, but I think that they will eventually (before it is to late).

Nice talking with ya... Best of luck with your downer...

25. Get back to me when the powers that be make ONE move in OUR favor-
and no, I don't count a laughable increase in minimum wage, in a sinking
economy, as a move in our favor.
And I am not on a Downer- I am on a REALITY ride.
And guess what-
WE are FUCKED.

27. Aw fuck it, I have decided to get drunk instead.. Who really gives a crap...
about where we are headed anyway? Here is what I think as far as being fucked... If the current Admin. finds/makes an excuse to declare emergency/military rule... Yep, we are going to be fucked indeed... But observing Pakistan in the last few days I am having a good feeling about that not happening at this time either... As a matter of fact, my biggest bitch at this time is the next Administration allowing this pack of criminals to walk free, instead of sending them to the Hague for crimes against humanity... So far, I am not very confident that this will happen, and I find this reprehensible ....

17. Try to settle.
Once that's accomplished remember that this bullshitty pile is large, very large, and that it's going to be hard to locate enough fans for it.

26. Do that- see if anything changes for you
So far, not for the rest of us, but do get back to us if
you find the magic key to the door out of this nightmare.
