I can't wait for the election to get here already so I can stop hearing about all the problems with both candidates.
Neither of them have the sole power to drastically change the United States in a four year term, or eight for that matter. Stop believing the "change" and "hope" it's all hype.
We are heading into a depression and there isn't really anything we can do about it. We have been insanely greedy to obtain material possessions through credit cards and bank loans at ridiculous interest rates, only to get more loans and open more credit cards because there is more to buy and fill our homes with- more to be distracted with. The American dollar is worthless, it's just a piece of paper. Have you heard talks about the NWA?

They say it's just conspiracy theory, but let's just see what happens. I'm only 25, I'm sure a lot will happen in my life time- I got to see computers go from a black screen with green text on it, to these amazing devices that allow us to connect with anyone in less then a blink of the eye.
The more the government regulates and controls for our own "safety" the more our simple freedoms will be stripped away one by one, but we'll be so distracted with the latest gadget to hold in our pretty little hands that we won't notice.
Have you seen the kids of today? Demanding the latest phones, ipods, and anything else you can think of? They don't care, they just need their parents to buy it and they don't care how they get it, they'll beg and beg until they have it, and once they have it, it's on to the next ridiculous luxury because the new Hannah Montana has it. They will eventually demand more "benefits" from the government and they'll respond with, 'o yes, only if we can put this chip inside you and your beh-beh's so we can track you so we know you're "safe" all the time, of course you can have more tax cuts, rebates and universal health care' There is a price for everything.
There will continue to be other wars, especially in the middle east and the U.S. will be there. "Change" isn't coming, at least not in the way the politicians are trying to convince Americans.
Just be happy with what you can get, work for what you need, don't be too greedy, live within your means.
I think it's crazy that there's a tracking device in my passport. I see paper money disappearing and credit cards taking over, then eventually chips containing all of our information and it will be promoted as more convenient and we'll accept it.
I currently don't take credit cards for my business, and more and more clients comment on how they can't remember when they last wrote a check or how they almost forgot to run to the bank so they can pay me.
I wish I was a Multi Billionaire.
