2. This is either the 9th or 10th "I Give Up" moment on DU in the past 2.5 years

I've lost count.

5. I recently drove through TN and KY, where Americans make this fine product called "Bourbon"
I've heard, for some people, it helps.

7. I like what they make a little further South
They take this Blue Agave plant, and make some amazing shit out of it

12. Ain't too good for the worms though.
:shrug: I wish I could just give up. I know my peace of mind would be so much better but I seem to be addicted to DU as I just keep coming back and upping my stress level on a daily basis.

13. To be fair...
...what you can get in TN is only Sour Mash Whiskey.

Bourbon must be made in Bourbon County KY.


And it does help...

6. Truth be told, I wonder why I even bother staying sober all day...
You gotta be crazy to not do drugs at a time like this

8. I hear that!
Hard to talk yourself off the ledge when the rational brain says you have every reason to be there.

9. OK. You have to make your own life choices. Good luck
with whatever choices you make. My choices may differ from yours.

10. And then California gets toasted.
Well, global climate change will likely toast us all, anyway.

15. THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING
Jeesh...maybe you are having a bad day or something - but I rarely see these kind of chicken little posts from you.


America is no more toast than the rest of the world. The human race is wearing out its cosmic welcome - America is not alone in its idiocy.

18. By 'America' don't you mean . . .
Edited on Thu Jul-07-11 01:04 PM by RZM
'My vision of America?' Perhaps that is toast, though I wonder if it was even bread to begin with . . . ;)
