I completely agree that people are more concerned about American Idol than the next president, the war on terror, and the economy combined. I also think that people need to hold their chin up and realize the economy is supposed to go through peaks and troughs.

I'm sick of everyone ragging on America - how everything is soo bad, our president is soo bad, the war is soo bad, and the economy is soo bad. We are simultaneously the richest and least happy society on the planet. Guys take a friggin anti-depressant then get in their BMW and go to work. Suck it the eff up. People in Africa are getting tourtured and killed by the truckload, and we're worried about 5% unemployment. Worst healtcare in the world now too - thanks for waving the flag yet again CNN. How about another story on the 10 easiest ways to attack the US? If I ever read a news story about how great America is I think I'll have a heart attack.

So we may have a recession in '08 - we will be better for it in the long run. We've all lived through recessions before, and this won't be the last. Maybe people will think twice before buying a house that will cost more they can afford, maybe they will start making coffee agian, maybe people will rediscover tap water. Maybe the lessons learned will actually make the economy stronger in 5 years.
