Ralph Nader once said "Things have to get worse before they get better"

The question I have is---has it gotten so bad that it may never get better?

3. It's all McGovern's fault for not winning!
If he'd tried harder, we wouldn't be in a war!

10. Damn Bryan and his free silver nonsense!
If not for his tomfoolery, McKinley never would have had his adventure with the Spaniards!

4. It's is a stupid fallacy, by definition, something has to be "get worse"
Edited on Thu Apr-06-06 04:36 PM by jsamuel
to "get better"

It is like saying "the sun has to go down for it to come up"... Well, DUH!

7. Don't mention that little shit's name in this forum!
I hope he's enjoying his Bush tax cuts. It's not like he and his Marin County latte drinking, wine and cheese liberals are actually suffering the consequences of the Bush presidency.

11. No it hasn't -- But it will if we don't get off the dime pretty damn fast
Being an optimist despite my cynicism, I believe we're far from the Point of No Return.

Bu7t we're getting there awful fast, if America doesn;t wake the hell up pretty soon.

17. I guess my main premise to this post is to wonder
