The wheels are coming off

It seems that the whole economy is coming apart. The Dow keeps dropping at crazy rates and there seems to be nothing to stop it. The unemployment rate is starting to creep up at an alarming rate and there seems to be nothing to stop it.

We look to our leaders for answers and they all have nothing to say. No real answers just your typical bullshit. They keep on giving money to big corporations while we the people are losing our retirement, paying more for goods and losing our jobs and getting downsized.

Its about time we stand up and demand some answers. Maybe we need to start hitting the streets and protest. Tell Washington we want results and not faulty bailouts for the company's that got into this mess. They did not listen when we told them no to the bailout and they all voted for it. If we hit the streets then they will have to listen. The time is here.

I fear we are in a generational swing of complacency. Prior to the 60's I think the last big protest marches were during the Great Depression, and before that was to protest any US involvement in WWI. Yes, we are past due another round of big time protesting, but the present generation don't have their hearts in it, baby boomers are getting too old, and hippies are managing corporations.

It is strange a strange time. At times I think we are at the tipping point and we are ready to stand up to our leaders and then the next moment I feel we are a bunch of sheep.
