We're past any of this, so what I'll say here might not be related really to anything mentioned in the article written by the brain dead cnn lackey. <br /><br />1) Gold flew up in value by 200 dollars in only a week.<br />2) Stocks dived 600 points. <br />3) 50% of the population in America is not working. <br />4) Unemployment is near 25%.<br />5) Tons of businesses and buildings have shut down or become completely vacant. (Even though the nation already hosted a mass of empty buildings and homes) <br />6) 80% of college students drink regularly or experiment with drugs. (What is admitted)<br />7) Roughly one tenth of graduating high schoolers function at a 12th grade level academically. <br />8) The average teenager sends over 100 text messages a day.<br />9) Few families remain that are well bonded and have not been shattered by drugs or divorce.<br />10) The average American adult watches six hours of television a day.<br />11) The modern family typically consists of young women (often minors) living with and having their mothers take care of their babies while the dad is either in prison or unknown.<br />12) The middle class now resembles trailer park trash, and suburbias aren't much different than trailer parks.<br />13) 44 million households recieve food stamps, that could mean 100 million people or more are on them.<br /><br />I could go on, but this is already redundant in its current form. This is really not funny. I think I'll skip over any articles discussing horrible predicaments such as Americans being unable to afford 1,000$ for an emergency. That's just way too sad for me...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
