on the economy
you cannot escape all the talk about recession anymore. it's in every newspaper, radio, website and conversation. what i don't understand is how exactly we got to this point, because from my perspective, things look really dismal. fed cutting rates + falling dollar value + high fuel costs + high unemployment + rising food costs = ?????? what does this all mean? is this the year we fall? in a way, i'm kind of hoping it is. i think we need a wake-up alarm call as americans. we need to know that our country is only as great as we make it and hold ourselves accountable to it's prosperity. i know the average person feels helpless to make any difference but how do you know if you don't even try? i think in order to taste sweetness you have to know what bitter is, and our generation knows nothing of bitterness. we spend like crazy, hurt each other, hurt ourselves and blame everyone else. we have to evolve into a more responsible society and i am hoping that if we do enter a depression (i already consider this a recession, despite what "experts" say), it will act as a catalyst for change.

I often wonder if you guys hear about that shit down there as much as we do given the massive media differences.
I don't think they would ever use the term depression again, so as not to incite panic in the ever-growing population...at what point will we know that's what it is, you know??

well, considering they don't want to even use the word recession without a disclaimer like "percieved" and "so-called". i don't give a shit what the experts officially consider a recession - people are feeling it. we are in a recession and in denial. i don't think we will hear talk of a depression, unless something really really bad happens - but i HOPE that with a new president (hopefully a democrat) things will look up. if mccain gets elected, i'm deporting myself.
