#1 Some say after it is all over we will resemble France. Not me. I think we end up resembling America in the mid to late 70's - high inflation, high unemployment and high interest rates plus oil going through the roof. We are fighting the wrong economic war with the wrong-headed ideology and equipment. We have a smarter and more radical Jimmy Carter type leader who is hood winking the boomers because that is what they crave - someone who will save their 401K and equity in their house. Spending will not do that. Not government spending at least. This all started in 68 with the march on the Pentagon and is ending in 2008 with the march on the Fed and Treasury. Neither are likely to survive.

#3 You mean that all the dope we smoked and pills that we popped in the '60's and '70's didn't give us a better understanding of life?

Don't worry. Our new guru "O" will show us the way!

#5 Nimble Spemble made one of his rare mistakes when he forgot to put the link in the source box. Try this, eltoroverde.

Skipped the pills, and mostly missed the dope; guess that's why I don't understand stuff now.

#8 explains a lot. I kept smoking pills and swallowing pot with small water chasers. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't working
