Thanks for the response Kuzi. However a few things I must make clear.
1. My venting isnt intended to fix anything other than my need to vent. 2. My writing is out there to get a laugh, or get pissed at, or just say "man this is crap"-----Its not there to educate, be a coherent flow of ideas, or obviously paint me in a certain light; and D. I could go out and put something with a great flow and articulated way of presenting facts and getting a point across, but then I would be no different than the thousands of papers and TV shows I could watch with people hashing over the same ideas and egaging in what they believe is an educated critical analysis of the ideas, when it fact it is little more than a way to fill dead air before their next oral explusion of the same old crap.
However, I am glad to you responded and seemed to do so with a little ire or condescension----It makes for a lively conversation...or at least something to pass the day until 5pm.

Thanks Squirrel, glad you liked it. I know it is a total Bush and Republican bash----but the dems. are not innocent in all this either. I wil read the links when I get home from work tonight. I heard the same about the housing market....its funny though how we are told the recession is coming to an end and a true sign of this is because we LOST LESS jobs this month than last. Still a hugh loss, but we lost less. I love the way we get stroked day and night to try to feel better about getting screwed the rest of the time.
I'll bash the dems all day, they are really pissing me off with all this indecision and not acting on what they were voted for. Sqabbling over reform, if there wasn't money being thrown around I'm sure there would be a different story. Thing is, their obligation is the PEOPLE not lobby-ists and corporations. It's ridiculous!!!! The FED has about a 5 trillion dollar deficit as of last year, then within about 9 months it equates to about 9 trillion. I was against the stimulus plan back in November, and I wasn't all for it when obama passed it especially since infrastructure was toned down a lot. I think doing a ful evaluation of the banks that failed or hell all the major banks then close the one's who were bad is the way to go, hell it worked before. It is sickening. I think parts of the economy are going better but a lot of economists say recessions last about 2 years, and this one could potentially get worse, though there are some signs that things are getting better. But things need to be done in washington, especially with the greed that is being thrown around and especially the power of money over what is right and will really work.
I have a cousin with Downs Syndrome ...I'm just sayin...if ya need to rant about someone at least make it someone capable of defending themselves . I don't mean to be an a$$ but why don't you volunteer some time (if your not to busy ranting) and work with disabled children. Maybe if you took the time to learn about their disabilities and understand them ,spent time with them maybe, just maybe, when you walked in a room and saw the smile that spread across their face because you the person , a friend, a helper was there to see them and at that moment you were their whole world , you could get something genuine from that experience that would make you look upon them with more love and care instead of total disrespect and lack of judgement that allows you to classify them as "just retards" ...I,m just sayin ....man don't even respond just think about it ...

Very mean on my part, and should have been taken out---I get stupid when writing. I do not want to get into it other than to say, it was below the belt. BTW, I work some with disabled adults, not children, on my job and see that smile all the time. I am not defending anything or trying to cover anything, but am saying not every off color joke is a direct slight or meant yo hurt. Aside from Bill Cosby I dont know how many great comedians there would be if no one made off color comments about tochy ideas.
I liked it.. I agree with much of what you said, and the name calling is just about right. They are that and more. The climate is warming, sorry kuzi (http://www.esa.int/esaEO/SEM9V567ESD_index_0.html).
