Does anyone recall it ever having been this bad before?
   
That's not a rhetorical question.

Energy prices are through the roof.

Food prices are right behind.

Real wages fell and unemployment is on the rise. Underemployment is at a crisis level.

Housing prices are still high, but mortgages are harder to come by.

Investments of all sorts have gone south for the little guy.

The wealth disparity has grown from a gap to a chasm.

Our health care system is irreparably broken.

Our life expectancy is starting to actually creep a bit downward.

Brotherly love has morphed into hatred for anyone or anything this isn't like you or doesn't agree with you. This has grown to encompass not only social interactions, but politics, too. My way or the highway thinking. Even within the same political party.

The planet may already be beyond saving.

War seems to be 'the answer' of late.

The only economic bright spot is in producing war materials.

You are unable to travel without submitting to a checkpoint where you are accosted for 'your papers' and then given a physical body search.

Many pubic buildings now require those same 'papers' of you simply to enter.

Your bank is reporting everything you do to Big Brother.

So are your internet, telephone, and cable television providers.

Your government is openly and unashamedly spying on you.

You can be held without charges.

The citizenry has been placed into a institutionally induced stupor of television and inane sports.

These are all insults to the body social. Grave insults. Debilitating and demoralizing insults.

These are what passes for normal life today.

Can anyone recall a worse time?

Sure we can point to the gas lines of the 70s and the high interest rates of the Carter years. We can point to rationing in WWII. We can even point to The Great Depression.

I don't think any of those times were, cumulatively, nearly as bad as today. While we saw gas lines, we were still free to make telephone calls privately and to go where we wanted and to hold a protest sign right up front in sight of the President. In the Viet Nam War era, we knew what was going on and eventually we were able to effect change. Now it is institutionally-induced apathy that prevails.

Really ...... can anyone recall a worse time?

I dunno.

The sparkling husband primitive's in his early 60s.

If the last seven years is all the sparkling husband primitive can remember, senility's already set in.

This is a new bonfire, only one primitive having discovered it.

You think things are bad for a surveillance standpoint now? Read up about World War I. President Wilson SEVERELY curtailed civil liberties. People were rounded up and deported for no reason at all. Newspapers were shut down. Meetings were broken up, and people arrested. Its really quite shocking when you read the history.

Thats to say nothing of the fear, mistrust, paranoia, shortages and other problems that we faced from 1917 - 1918.

You go, Big Dad.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government.

Isn't sparky old enough to remember carter? 

In light of a possible mrs. clinton or hussein Presidency I keep reminding myself that I lived through carter, so I can live through one of them.

Yes. Crack open a history book fool.
   
That's not a rhetorical question.

Energy prices are through the roof.
Did you sleep through the 70's? Yes, oil is at a record high right now, but we aren't allowed to expand our refinery capabilities or explore for oil in places like ANWR. Instead, the whole world is buying into the biofuel craze and using up valuable land/food crops. You should also do a little more research about the oil industry and what goes into getting that gas to market. And what happened to Pelosi's mandate for change in 06? I'm still waiting for that ultracheap gas she promised!!!!

Food prices are right behind.
See above jackhole.

Real wages fell and unemployment is on the rise. Underemployment is at a crisis level.
WRONG! Dead wrong in fact. Start here moron. http://www.bls.gov/

Crisis level? Again, did you sleep through the 70's? Forget about the Great Depression? Jeeez.....

Housing prices are still high, but mortgages are harder to come by.
Nope. The market was due for a correction and homes are now selling closer to their actual value. The speculators and fools who didn't read their mortgage papers are getting rightly spanked. Mortgage companies who cut corners and were greedy are also getting spanked. It's a long overdue cleansing. Sucks to be you if you failed to do basic math and jumped into something you couldn't afford. And, it sucks to be you if you aren't in a position to snatch up a formerly overpriced home now.

Investments of all sorts have gone south for the little guy.
Who is your broker? Daffy Duck?? You know nothing about finance and are pretty dense for someone who's been around six decades or so! I pity you and your retirement plan.

The wealth disparity has grown from a gap to a chasm.
Wrong again. The only "disparity" is the one in your mind. Read the above link again tool. And show me where in the Constitution it states that you are entitled to "wealth" in this country. Be a man, do something for yourself. Get a second job. Learn a new skill. Devote some of that internet surfing time to building your own business.

Our health care system is irreparably broken.
"Irreparably"? is that even a word? Send the illegals home first. That will take a huge burden off our healthcare system to start. And you think it's broken now? Just wait until a Dem president mandates your healthcare!

Our life expectancy is starting to actually creep a bit downward.
Umm. current life expectancy is 77.8 years. I guess for you it is creeping downward.

Brotherly love has morphed into hatred for anyone or anything this isn't like you or doesn't agree with you. This has grown to encompass not only social interactions, but politics, too. My way or the highway thinking. Even within the same political party.
True. Funny how you inadvertently described DU and yourself here!

The planet may already be beyond saving.
Only if Al Gore has his way. And I'm sure he's got a financial plan to get us out of it too! Hide your wallet.

War seems to be 'the answer' of late.
Funny, I think the same thing when I see Islamofacists on the news. At least the U.S. military has the guts and fortitude to answer that call. But, I will never question your patriotism!   :whatever:

The only economic bright spot is in producing war materials.
Oh really? So all of those reports about manufacturing and job growth are just about "war materials"? I guess you better snatch up some Halliburton and defense stocks ASAP being that "investments have gone south for the little guy" and all.

You are unable to travel without submitting to a checkpoint where you are accosted for 'your papers' and then given a physical body search.
Only if you take an airplane. You do remember 9/11 don't you moron? Something tells me you would bitching about us not checking "your papers" if we had ignored the security risks. And, it's been that way for a long time. When is the last time you flew? 1947? Moron.

Many pubic buildings now require those same 'papers' of you simply to enter.
What part of "public" building do you not understand? You would be the first in line to complain if someone got into a "public" building and committed an act of terrorism because anyone and everyone was allowed to wander in. Or, maybe you should just pay those overdue library fines and STFU.

Your bank is reporting everything you do to Big Brother.
If you're making transactions that meet a certain criteria, then yes, the govt is informed. It's been that way for as long as I can remember.

So are your internet, telephone, and cable television providers.
Stop talking to terror suspects. Problem solved.

Your government is openly and unashamedly spying on you.
You ain't seen nothing yet! Wait until Clinton II or the Barackstar! is in charge!

You can be held without charges.
Liar. Prove it.

The citizenry has been placed into a institutionally induced stupor of television and inane sports.
Looked in the mirror lately? Are you only watching documentaries and PBS? No, you're jaw-jacking on DU!

These are all insults to the body social. Grave insults. Debilitating and demoralizing insults.
Aww, someone has sand in their vajajay. Nut up. You're over 50 and should be well past getting your whittle fweelings hurt. And WTF is the "body social"? Seriously? Stop trying to be an intellectual.

These are what passes for normal life today.
You wouldn't know normal if it bit you in your corpulent ass I suspect.

Can anyone recall a worse time?
Still haven't cracked open that history book eh?

Sure we can point to the gas lines of the 70s and the high interest rates of the Carter years. We can point to rationing in WWII. We can even point to The Great Depression.

The sparkling husband primitive doesn't need to crack open a history book.

The sparkling husband primitive's old enough to have seen much history with his own eyes.

That's why I'm wondering if senility's setting in.

Oh man.

I wasn't aware that Sigmund Freud had delved so much into a human soul, and that the sparkling husband primitive, based upon his bonfires and comments on Skins's island, has betrayed so much about himself.

Of course, that is based upon only the words of the sparkling husband primitive, and as we all know, primitives lie, and perhaps some of the sentiments and situations the sparkling husband primitive describes are not quite, uh, the truth.

But if the sparkling husband primitive is being honest on Skins's island, that's one really sick **** there.

Ya think it's bad now ****nuts?
Wait until your beloved hippie earth worshiping Pagan liberals start assessing carbon footprint taxes on energy.
Your beloved bag of Cheeto's will run eight bucks a bag, both gas and milk will be at 10 dollars a gallon, and it will run you $450.00 a month to heat your home.

I hope you and your liberal comrades suffer real bad, pig.

I remember FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR worse.

Under the reign of incompetence of the peanut farmer:

INFLATION: 14%

UNEMPLOYMENT: 12%

MORTGAGE RATES: 23%

I guess that all DUmbasses really do think history started in 2001.
