Unhappy

It's been in gradual decline over the last 45 years. Morally, socially and politically.

Does anyone ever get elected to higher office in State and Federal govt. anymore who isn't rich? A govt of millionaires in the Presidency, congress/senate and Govenorships.

Corporate interests and lobbiests before the interest of the common man/woman and child.

What ever happened to America first and Government of the people, for the people and BY the people?

We had our run, our zenith and now we tumble little by little.

Why even try.........

Believe it or not it happened when they rolled out the disposable diaper. I wrote a 250 page paper on it.

Basically, disposable diapers meant more than just quick clean tushies, it meant wives no longer took the time to clean and launder cloth diapers, therefore eventually leading the children to not get that same feeling as if they were diapered with a warm cloth diaper, instead they got the cold plastic and cotton... Basically the breast fed or not breast fed argument but with diapers... eventually followed by condo's etc. marketed as "The house with the lawn you dont have to mow." From then until now, the chase hase become bigger better, faster, more super duper'er than you, more than my neighbor, more than my co-workers more more more more, then growing along side that more more more mentality, you've got folks who skirt the process of building more and and earning the more more more and they just find it easier to prey on those who've built their more more more more and they just take it

Domination takes full concentration..

right on !... white man is a cosuming ,wasetful, everything that he can .. That religous child molesting stuff was early 60's and before I bet . We didn't see it then . It all makes the news now . I don't like people making windfall profits, off poor kids getting blown up. That should be illegal .. send profits to familys of loved ones lost .

the results of prohibition

were completely negative.... except for the ingenuity of southenors

who built stills to make their own... and that created faster and faster rum running cars
to out run the cops which lead us to nascar racing.

the lesson of prohibition were not learned and the agency of the ATF
was formed and they didn't figure out how to make cars to run on alcohol then....
a huge mistake ! now we are back pedaling

instead they just spilled the alcohol onto the ground and polluted the environment ...

they could have begun making bio diesel then but because of the ATF
nobody could make any fuel ..... i just read about a guy who runs his
car on vegetable oil and the government tried to tax him to death...

basterds ....fuel and energy has to come from somewhere...

the hitch hiking bugs alone from imports (on/in containers)
are costing us billions of dollars every year.
