Rick, I no longer give a damn. As some of the botl have stated so clearly- what's the use? We are a basically a good (albeit overweight) people with an inflated sense of self, altruistic/naive intent, short memory, and a small wallet- except for watchurai of course.

Just get your house in order & look forward to an eternity of bliss. If this temporal mess is all you've got, I feel sorry for you (not necessarily directed at you per se, Ricardo). Btw, your weed, er, clinging vines seem to be adapting...


Dave, you always make me smile.

Look at all of us... we complain on a forum but what do we really do? or what can we do? i write my politicians but they dont care. There is no accountability for their actions and the majority of americans are too complacement with their SUVs, football, etc to care. I expect a collapse in the next 10-20 years. We give out aid to countries undserving, we fight wars for chinese assets, or loan money to other countries so they can find assets for china. the whole world will fall. the population is exploding too fast and there are no controls or concerns for it.

hell, im going to blame the bees. once they are gone we only have a couple years anyway!

The slide for America started when we discovered that we can receive cash from the US treasury that will be paid by future generations. Once a ponzi starts, it must end poorly. We legalized theft and corruption.

Does China loan money to individuals?

I just watched part of a documentary on the discovery

Infrastructure is an occasional discussion on many channels
both the left and the right, but seeing a few bridges coming
apart and foundations crumbling and the ages of the Brooklyn
bridge over 100 years old, he George Washington bridge
new York over 50 years old, and the discussion by the
engineers that these were not built to last 50 years without
constant maintenance, health care, union rights, who kills
gadaffi, and the national debt makes me aware once again
how poorly this country is run.

we are physically falling apart. we have old roads that look
like a third world country road, and we are still dicking
around with Amtrak, while other industrial nations have
speedy rail transportation.

is it the two party system that exploits the other party,
or is it the supreme that gave corporation the right to buy
congressman and senators to decrease taxes for business
and waste money building second engines for airplanes
that the military doesn't need or even want.

we need to get our country in order, and cutting funding
for NPR, isn't important enough to waste time talking about.

catholics are the nations largest religious group and 70%
of catholics don't give a damn if two guy or two girls get
married and other then some of the hierarchy of the church,
the guys that didn't throw out the pedophiles, most catholics
don't care one way or the other about birth control or abortion.

I think people would like to drive to work over a bridge that
doesn;t have holes in it so you can seethe water through the
roadway or carry a hammer so they can smash out a window
if thye bridge collapses and the car ends up in the water.
