They have no one else to turn to. The ailing people ALWAYS turn to the snakeoil salesmen, no matter how many times they are suckered. That's what suckers do - go from one promise to the next without thought, only responding to something in which they must expend no effort to improve their conditions.

Manna from the skies.

Michelle Obama is naturally clueless about wealth generation. That's why she and her man feed on the backs of the hungry masses. By promising the masses the moon, the masses will let you climb over their backs until one is at the head of the line.

It will be bad. It will be worse than the depression, if only because the fundamental shift in the population demographics turns us, IQ-wise, into a 3rd world country. Those changes don't end.

Look at any 3rd world nation that is ETERNAL poverty and you need look now further than their national make-up to realize why they are in such perpetual suffering.

Some folks just don't have the ability to grasp sophisticated western concepts. That's why the west has been rich and free and the rest live under tyranny and in poverty. The ignorant are ruled by ignorance.

So yes, that's why the US is in recession and heading towards depression. That's why the schools are laughably inadequate, in this "futuristic" year of 2008, at providing anything resembling a quality education that teaches things of true value.

Self-sufficiency is non-existent in 3rd world nations. Sure the life is tough and the masses struggle to survive, but the concept of being able to reach out and CREATE wealth where there was absolutely nothing is forever elusive. The suffering masses must work for others as slaves or, in turn, exploit others work and profit at others expense. Why? It's not the color of their skin, or the geographic location in which they live - it's the ability and complexity of the neurons firing into the synaptic centers of the brain.

Our nation is losing our spark and in this context that provides a whole new understanding of America's decline.

Yes, even the rich of this generation are less intelligent. Most are cash accumulators - not wealth generators. All too many exploit rather than create.

This is part of the decline. Wealth in the hands of the unintelligent only fosters more of the same.

Greed.
Avarice.
Exploitation.
Fear.

The wealth generator is never fearful about losing their wealth, because they know they will ALWAYS be able to create more. Their minds are their meal ticket. They know wealth is not cash or the size of a bank account - it's the ability to make oneself useful to others.

For those who grip their dollars tightly, ever fearful to see them leave their grasp because they don't know when or if they will see them replaced - these folks will always live in the valley of economic distress, residents of exploitation county in the state of fear.

Yes, the future looks bleak. A demographics end-game that exponentially increases the numbers of the incapable which claw and tear asunder the capable. A nation where the wealth is ever diminishing because ever fewer understand wealth generation and even the few rich just claw at cash and the chance to exploit others unjustly.

But in such a world the Democrats only diversify and multiply. The Socialist-Democratic Party, Green-Social Changers, Liberal Action Force Party, Hispanic Liberal America League - etc. ad infinitum. More snake oil salesmen making promises and failing to deliver. Only in the land of the ignorant do such snakes prosper, but prosper they will.

I don't know if I would ever head out to Canada or the Caribbean. I think being out in the desert is an ideal place to suffer through the coming storm. The extreme heat keeps a lid on social violence throughout 1/2 the year and keeps the desert free of overpopulation as it is found elsewhere. The desert mentalities also are generally more conservative, as cool heads are needed to survive in such adversity.

If the nation becomes lawless or a nation under democrat martial law, the desert and the remote regions are the best places to evade the worst of the riots, crackdowns, mass sprayings, etc.

All those here who feared the internment camps of Bush, failed to learn from history. It is only the democrats who have ever interned US citizens without blinking an eye - and they will again do so as the food riots and poor masses turn on DC.

Sadly, these masses do not understand that the government is not a creator of wealth - that they can only steal so much wealth and that after it is stolen there is no more to distribute.

But in the face of all this - do I despair? No. Each soul is at that level best suited to their own progression. They are at differing points in an infinite number line. If 350,000,000 are at 4, while only 12 are at 8 - that's the way it goes. Those millions will need to progress at their own level. Cursing them out - does absolutely nothing - and is completely counterproductive. A seventh grader doesn't want to see all second graders taken out of second grade and put into seventh grade. He/she understands they first must pass through the various grades so that they can learn.

A global depression is what certain masses need. It is the level of their mental development sustains and it will be the tool that hopefully further permits them to grow outside their socialist tendencies of expecting to be carried by others efforts and minds. By being forced to think and create for increased wealth they will slowly be the beggars who learn to fish and never return to begging again.

PS
Apologies to all for writing such long posts...I do realize it is a burden for some to process them and it makes their brains hurt. I hate to be the cause of such physical irritation, even though I understand it is the firing up of synapses that have long been dormant/heretofore unused and will become pain-free after these unused ganglions develop better connections with the existing network.
