Negativity

Who else is getting a little down about the state of affairs in the United States? I am super excited for Obama, don't get me wrong, but I honestly feel we have another depression on our hands. All I see in the news is how bad our economy is, how much the DOW jones is dropping, what companies are going to go bankrupt, how everyone is buying guns. It is extremely hard to be optimistic about the future of the united states. I can honestly say the only light I see in our future is Barack Obama and while he may be extremely capable and motivated to change the U.S. I just don't know if he can do it. Definitely not in 4 years. Then again the idea of economic collapse kind of thrills me. It means people can get away with more. Deterioration of laws and a return to a different kind of society. I honestly think it could be good for the united states. Unification through common struggle. I want this to happen.

One of my favorite books of all time is Atlas Shrugged and this situation in some ways reminds me of that books. Basically the public/ gov't does not appreciate the services large companies (railroads, steel producers) provide for them, so all the Companies just shut down and the world retreats in the chaos. The only big difference in that situation is the companies in Atlas Shrugged were driven by strong moral codes of wanting progress and providing service rather than making their CEO the most money. In the real world CEO's really do seem to be greedy bastards. ANYWAY, at the end of Atlas shrugged the world goes dark, electric companies stop, no more gas or coal, no transportation. People are thrown back into pioneer days. That excited me. I would love to be a part of that struggle. So right now, in this crazy mood I'm in I say whoever is holding up our economy should just throw it on the ground, shatter it, bring it on bitch.
