Homestead mailing list

[bob ford <bobford79 AT yahoo.com>]

I'm too old and unhealthy to start drinking and smoking pot, so I can see the 
obvious reality of your point that politicians will fix absolutely nothing.  
They will placate us with pablum about taking --or not taking--my guns; 
taking-- or not taking--my right to choose an abortion; taking --or not 
taking --my right to get married if I decide , late in life, to switch sexual 
orientation, taking --or not taking--my right to read scripture or pray to 
the invisible man , in a public place

.  And, all the while, they will be stealing my house, my land, and my 
freedoms.  If I were younger and healthier, I think I might embrace violent 
anarchism.......bobford

That's as good an answer as any I can think of.

Bob, the brightest economists in this country are disagreed on how bad  
the bad economy is going to become and they are disagreed on what can  
be done to soften the fall. So asking all the above-average people on  
this list for the answer is, well, bound to come up short. Long-term,  
the economy will sort itself out. Each of us will survive although the  
pain may well become strong. Expect things to get worse and you will  
likely not be disappointed.

And anyone who thinks that politicians can fix it are drinking or  
smoking really good stuff.
