Re: God is good all the time...
I personally hope everyone takes a break from politics this weekend... way too stressed out about the crazy election and economy wacking us too: this weekend should be out and about doing the things they do and ignoring the TV for a while...

Totally agree. I am going to drive out east and visit a few wineries. I think this is "Drink to forget weekend" out there.  |

No such luck here in Canada. Our election day is next Tuesday, right after our Thanksgiving holiday. The politicians will be busy this weekend trying to hold on to their jobs!
I still haven't decided yet who's the most convincing liar...  |

I think we should all march on wall street with a pit stop in DC with pitch forks and torches. Just like those classic scenes in Frankenstein.

I have little faith that we the world will be ok, largely because the world is confronting greed with more greed and thinking that that will fix the problem; when what needs to happen is we all cinch up our belts and take a more realistic view of life. Our lives are going to change drastically and we can either accept it now or try to stave it off till it violently seizes us and drags us down.

Your guess is as good as mine.

The general populace isn't panicked, they're angry on principle but really they haven't been too terribly affected yet. They likely won't really feel the effects till people start getting laid off because their company can't get a short term loan and thus don't really have the ability to do anything. Places aren't going to go down in a blaze of glory, they're going to slow burn. |

I have an Anxiety Attack scheduled for next Thursday, with a Panicky Episode to follow the next morning. I plan to unwind that night with a little Light Paranoia followed by snacks and a fizzy beverage.
Scheduling really is everything.

I understand what you're saying, but to add a little bit of perspective to my statement, I was just recently laid off (as well as my whole department) after 15+ years of service.
It's starting to effect companies. If you don't see that now (with over 700K job loss this year alone), then I'm not sure what will bring you to the point where you acknowledge that the problem has already made its presence known.
