Poll question: How BAD do you think this is going to get...?
   
In recent weeks, it has become painfully clear to me that I cannot begin to wrap my consciousness around the magnitude of the problems we face as a nation, a species, or a planet. The size of the handbasket is something to consider, but the velocity in its descent and the depth of our abyss is still speculation...

The QUESTION: How bad do you think it will get?
Please PICK your poison.
Then POST your timeline for said demise...

have fun! let the doom and gloom begin!

Dipshit, you can't wrap your head around it, because these things your IMAGINING don't exist.

Perhaps..."Journalgirl," I like it...sort of captures the whole self-absorption fetish, with a wee bit of feminist flair...nice mole name!

I think they've put this poll up every week for the last seven years.   :sosad:

Psychotropic drugs can do that, from what I've heard.

H5 just the same . . .

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

Considering that most of our problems stem from having a liberal democrat congress, I'm wary that a democrat president or filibuster/veto proof senate will make today's problems appear to be nothing compared to problems in 2012.  This make the the reign of Carter's incompetence look like good times.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.
