I dunno if we've ruined this one , but I'm well enough prepared

Good luck with that.

You need to find out what your fighting
against, before you can fight it. Right
now I'm about to fight hunger.

I fought that hours ago . The battle was won with homemade spaghetti
(my
recipe , simmered all afternoon) and garlic bread .
The battle for survival might be a bit more difficult ... and probably
bloody . Example - a former neighbor was overheard saying they were going
to
shoot my generator (during a power outage) because it wasn't fair that I
had
one and they didn't . They changed their mind when I stepped around the
corner and they saw my sidearm .

Good-bye 21st Century, hello 12th.

A good book for the times

Global warming is only a convenient excuse for conflict,
which in todays society doesn't require a logical reason.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And it¹s not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. That¹s hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they don¹t get away with no taxation.
