1. I am beyond frustrated... beyond angry.. beyond fearful...

If I said what I was thinking, I might get in trouble..... No, I have NO INTENT, mind you, but my thoughts are pretty explosive. :nuke:

2. Perhaps my mom's words before the second Iraqi war

started might help. She is 83... and at the time she told me... there are things that we cannot really stop. We need to live through them. Those in power are determined.

So at this point... I have that utter calm that comes before a really nasty storm...

Hope that helps...

That said, I am so glad dad did not live to see this.

3. well, I surely know I can do nothing.... If we all end up on the street...

well, so be it. Those frantically liquidating bank accounts and the like-- have at it, I guess. I'm at the F__k it stage.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Oh I am sure things will get to the point

where we will end up in more than just the streets, with pitchforks and all that... now it is just a matter of time...

Again, I can't stop it... but it is coming.

But cold acceptance of the hard times coming is all we can do, and see how we can help each other.

4. It is a meaningless vote. The bill would be defeated in the house.
