I was 3, but I remember bits and pieces -- people crying on TV, in the supermarket. IMO, political affiliations notwithstanding, Kennedy was the last "great" president.

 

its not 'our' fault
we are victims man
everyone who has to depend on something else is a born victim
but we dont have to be is my point
children depend on their parents but then they mature and they fly
we dont
we stay dependent to various systems created by others that only serve to control our lives
sure you might not feel it, but its there
our instincts are replaced at inception
little by little we become addicted to the very poisons they feed us and the controls placed upon us
most of us dont even like the truth anymore because weve been lied to for so long that those lies are touchstones of our culture

but no shit, its always been like that and its always gonna be like that
the people who run shit are never going to be like you and I
they are a different race
and it has nothing to do with color

the dream being in a coma is the same as being dead
because i also think it can come back... but its not coming back because protesters are going to 'shame' the powers that be into changing things
if it comes back its because americans TAKE IT back
yes like the tea party says 'we gotta take back america'... but not from the black guy at the white house
thats more of the same bullshit that keeps the american peoples heads buried in the sand


i dont like whiners
so im not going to whine myself
i try not to because ive yet to see whining bear positive fruits
when people tell me how much they dislike the situation they are in i can only answer in one way...
if you dont like it why are you still there?
GTFO man, if not then STFU and deal
you are there for a reason, something must be better there than somewhere else or else you would move
you have the power to move people, at least for now before they start putting high tolls for each highway and requiring the show of proper up to date papers to go to the next county

look, obviously america is still a great country, but some things do look pretty grim for the future
i spend way too much time reading about whats going on all over the world
not just politically but scientifically as well

you want to have a source of clean well water near
you want to be able to feed yourself no matter what
you need to be able to create your own shelter
you need to learn these skills
you might not need them hopefully
but you might
and if you dont have them
you might not survive
your other alternative might end up being indentured servitude
because that might be the deal the middle class ends up with in the future
no SS, forced to pay for various insurances for everything, work 60 hours a week, half your wages taken by the government, and the government still will never have enough money to take care of all the things it says its responsible for and takes your money for
they end up farming everything to big corporations that get no bid contracts because those corporations put up all the money for those fancy TV ads and that big luxury bus custom painted with your face on it
those companies half the time arent even specialized in those projects they are tasked with completing
its stupid and its why our country is falling behind

the complete corruption of capitalism has turned our economy and society into exactly what the socialists and the Islamist and all our other past enemies have predicted
we have become douchebag bullies who are really pussies at heart when it comes to our international affairs
because while we swing our dick around everywhere we go, here at home we show the truth
every enemy that we have defeated has actually beaten a little bit of america out of us in the process
because we become pussies at the mere mention of our enemy even in abstract form

oh no, we front, dont get me wrong... we front hard
but look at what we do
our leaders take every enemy and use them against their own people to terrorize them into having them give up their own freedoms willingly
it would make me mad if i was surprised
but im not
read a history book people
its what they always do
but america has made it into an artform

you are right, we are burning through a thousand years of history in the span of a couple of centuries

thats why im going back in time by simply moving a little bit away from everything
close enough for an emergency if i need it
far enough that if shit starts going down im gonna be safe initially
and from then i can be better prepared if i need to then move to a safer place
but having a place already in an area that is outside of a city might make all of the difference in the world

and if nothing happens well shit, you have a great vacation home built up for cheap when land was up for grabs at bargain prices
plus youve learned a bunch of new skills and most likely become healthier and probably even a better more self reliant person in the process
besides, im taking as many modern conveniences as are realistically feasible

dont worry about DSP, wherever i go im for sure taking some kind of internet connection with me
satellite is not as bad as before and 4G is getting really solid now
but if i was ever open to selling DSP to one of you guys to continue running it as a place where people can talk about stuff without worrying about being moderated all the time... now would probably be it since im building up my seed money for the farm

 

^ come on, be honest... is Selig forcing you to sell?
