    That is some sobering stuff... still waiting for a couple to load. Not sure if I should go see that movie.. prolly pull all my hair out.

    Guys got my vote for Prez.. Things I've been saying since '95 when I shunned buying a house because of it at 25 years old. Watched em go from about $40,000 in the early 90's to $80,000 by '95 in my area. Then to $150,000 then to $250,000 and beyond.. People thought I was a moron.. they were all getting rich!

    I am a moron, but not cuz of that.. I'm a moron for saving money slower than Greenspan could print it.. woe is me.

    I love Suzi Orman.. She's rich.. and honest.

    The real reason for Americans to have the right to bear arms was to keep the government in it's place. With a populace that has the ability to stand up to it's leadership, you have a leadership that is truly accountable.

    Today, the average person in America is a sheep, willing to stand there and watch as the next sheep is killed without even trying to run away. There will be no civil war, we will slowly become Canada instead.

    Nein! NICHT ! !

    There must be, and I think I'm pretty sure there will be one... All the ingredients are mixed and I am simply waiting for the oven to come up to temp!

    to quote myself, in memory of Wez...

    "We used to be one nation under god, now we are 3 nations sharing space!":mad:

    It will come... The play is already in motion!;)

    Hay Charlie... Helter Skelter was only a song. And I think it was about roller coaster ride.
    Your a doom and gloom monger yeah know that? :p But seriously unless the government went into a marshal law across the nation and we were able to group under a single cause, I really don't see it happening. There's just to many causes and no conformity.

    Too many causes.........

    People are more interested in the trainwreck that is Paris Hilton than what the canidates for President support. You cannot have an uprising without a common belief structure. If people cannot agree with what is wrong, then they cannot gather together to fight that wrong.


    Most of America is made up of people who look to the government to solve their problems or to give them something. Hard to attack something that you need to exist.

    that is true... but what happens when the US is finally bankrupt?!
    It has been my contention for years, and has also started to become the banter of many people, that the US treasury is insolvent...:eek:

    So what happens when Our socialist tendencies KILL the already dead US treasury? When the Police don't get paid, and the social sec checks bounce, and teachers don't get paid, and the fuel stops.... what them?

    it has been my theory for a long time that, Riots will start in Los Angeles, and people will think little of it... Until they stay lit past 2 weeks, then Miami and NYC will erupt... That will send the DOW Jones into a tailspin... People will withdraw funds from our banks, and nations from our shores...

    and when the money is gone, and the bread and circus have run out, it will be most unfortunate that our economic divisions so closely mimic our racial ones, because this country will descend into a race war... our Final Civil War...
