I have come to the conclusion that allowing people to own guns is our last hope. While I have tried to e optimistic about our government recent events have worried me to the point that perhaps armed revolution or protection is not as ludicrous as I once believed.
I see rich people building fortresses, I see a government corrupt, I see people who just don't seem to care, I see heightened possibilities of civil unrest here. I truly believe that having armed civilians and a population with weapons maybe our saving grace in these days ahead.
I hope and pray I am as wrong as can be. In fact I pray I have never been more wrong in my life.
I do know that I am learning about guns these days and plan to go to a range as soon as I can and practice my once decent shooting.
Gd I hope I am wrong but a dollar on the verge of collapse, a government so out of control, a press that seems to be so full with bias and yellow journalism that we no longer know what to believe, drugs in our water supplies, greedy assholes that get bonuses for laing people off and shipping jobs overseas, knowing our economy is holding on by only the belief of the people in the monetary system.... and that belief is fading fast, an educational system bankrupt and so horribly deficient that it is scary, a lazy society more worried about who got voted off American Idol than what is going on in government and the rights we are losing, a society drugged in many ways (Viagra, Wellburin, Xanax, Prozac, Ritilin, and on and on... "have a problem take a drug"), a generation that has no respect for their parents because we made spankings and true punishments (groundings, NO, etc.) crimes, but most of all a world that seems to be so topsy turvy and full of negative energy that even the most positive of people are losing it.
Perhaps, it is just me seeing this and I am living some weird surrealistic fantasy life in my mind.... but I am scared that I'm not, that what I am seeing is a society as we know it ready to crumble into anarchy and a weird socialistic/fascist oligarchy/dictatorship mix.
Please tell me I need help and I am crazy........ someone please tell me all I see and am worried about is in my mind and caused by all the drugs and gambling I did. Please.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
