Just a taste of vinegar without oil
The economy in the United States is hurting very bad, and there is always global economic fallout when that happens. When you stop and think about it and why this economic crisis happened, it is all about the lack of oil and the resulting higher prices. It is also a clear warning that following the path ‘big oil’ wants will be like crashing your car into a concrete wall when the oil completely runs out. After all the oil companies do want to sell every last drop they can find. Continue reading Post ID 1509

American Can’t Do!
The once proud phrase “American Can Do” and know how has now been replaced with “America Can’t Do” and have not a clue how to do it if you choose to listen to the Bush administration when it comes to making the right choices about global warming.

Fanatical Political Correctness Part 2
As the politically correct movement continues to over protect, people continue to lose or never learn the ability to cope with the real world. As Olympic hopefuls must train to make the grade, people must be allowed to train for the real world by exposure and not be insulated from it by the politically correct movement. Without that exposure people will simply not have the ability to keep what is so precious to them like freedom. Part of that freedom is already gone if you stop to look. Continue reading Post ID 1509

No problem just take another Xanax and somehow things will seem better. At some point not too far from now things will just snap and hiding from the reality with prescription drugs will not be enough as people reach maximum dosage and develop resistance.
