Are we in a Disastrous Catastrophe yet?
At what point I wonder will Americans snap out of their hypnosis and notice that we are in a full scale crisis, in the middle of a national and international disaster?

Is it o.k. to say that in public yet? Is it alright to openly admit that America is tee totally fucked? In 6 short and miserable years, it happened, a total cluster fuck catastrophe, a total meltdown, critical mass.

Some may try to convince me otherwise, that things are not as bad as I make them out to be, but I am drained of optimism after these 6 years. This is NO WAY TO START OUT THE NEW CENTURY.

None of the talking heads are saying it aloud, they report, they obfuscate, they hide the fact that America as we once knew it is over, America is the Titanic, and the crew is trying to keep us from panicking as we sink beneath the waves.

When will someone try to step up and stop the catastrophe? I'd like to see a person, or persons stand up and say, "Listen America, this is a full scale EMERGENCY situation we have here, and THESE MEN RIGHT HERE are the ones causing it, this little handful of maniacs in the white house".

This shit is getting completely out of control, as in earth shattering, and goddammit, we all need to get control of this disaster.

4. people have noticed but
they're in denial and paralysis. If they admitted how bad the situation is they might feel they have to do something about it. And that thought is daunting in a society with few outlets for address of grievances. It's no surprise at all to me that people will just go about their business mumbling to each other "It's OK....it's OK" (The few Chicken Littles can be easily ignored).
