America was founded on a revolution.
The sheer inflammatory, economic and racial prejudice that seems to be growing on the sub-prime conservative blogs is frightening.
This economy with companies failing due to the liquidity crisis (not just financial companies) and more to come along with the usual loss of employment that occurs in a recession does not bode well for us as a society. In times like these racism rises.
There is widespread unhappiness with a government that is increasingly unreponsive to the citizens and makes ad hoc decisions that are as costly as they are confounding.
The handing over of $700B dollars of our tax money to a private citizen who can spend it as he chooses, with no veto and who is held harmless from any legal liability in case he screws up does not sit well with many.
The masses are unhappy. Even though the unhappiness is rooted in different causes, it shares the commonality of time.
While I’m no prognosticator, I wouldn’t at all be surprised if some sort of revolution happened here and soon.
