Good construct.

And probably right on the mark. However, the name simply brings up a mental image to me. It may not be accurate but it does amuse me. I'm trying my best to retain my sense of humor during this Presidential campaign although there is precious little to laugh about these days.

Some random thoughts--
I am horrified every day by bad news, thinking of people I know who are losing their retirement savings, of people losing their jobs, of the US government trying to bail out the whole world and there simply isn't enough money, real or "created" to do it. Horrified of what the future may hold as people grow more and more desperate, thinking that Bush may have been prescient in bringing home the Brigade to handle "domestic" crowd control. Feeling less and less secure, afraid to own a gun for fear someone might take it and use it on me, fear to own one in case I had to use it on someone else.

In the end, all I have left is my faith in Creator to protect and guide me. I believe that sometimes God strips everything away so that we will turn to Him/Her. Just as there are no atheists in foxholes, when nothing else is left, people in desperation will finally discover something they never before believed existed. The ones who don't are well and truly lost.
