What's Next?

So, let's see where we're at. We still have two wars going on in the middle-east, we have the largest ecological disaster in the western hemisphere in history, we're still trying to recover from the second worst economic disaster in our history, Europe is edging closer to a return to economic disaster and threatening to drag us down with them, North Korea is threatening war against South Korea and they have the BOMB, we're on course to become the second largest economy in the world when China surpasses us, which seems more and more likely, because we ignore our educational base and allow the rest of the world to surpass us in the race to develop alternative energy and the products that will be used in that industry, we fret over illegal aliens coming into our country to do the work our own people refuse to do and then compete with us for the jobs we do want. Our leaders would rather point fingers at each other and stretch the truth so far that nothing sound or looks like the truth, instead of getting down to the business at hand. They lie and cheat and get uninvolved in all manner of unpleasantness. Our corporations locate offshore to avoid paying taxes and then complain our taxes are too high, our banks manipulate our economy so as to make huge profits even when everyone else is loosing money. They borrow money from the government at zero interest and then lend it back to the government with interest so the government can lend to them. All in all, I'd say things are pretty good. At least for some of us. Not so good for others, but then, they can't afford buy any votes in congress, so don't worry about them. Of course, them is us. Have a nice day.
