It's all so bloody discouraging, watching the US government busily eating its young, and trying to reconcile all the various divisions in the country, political and religious, as well as secular.

Where will it end?  I most likely won't be around at the finish.  It's very difficult to keep the faith, what with apocalyptic economic projections emanating from various financial gurus, various government agencies stocking up on enough ammunition to successfully invade Canada and agent provocateurs running amok countrywide trying to stir up more trouble.

Who do we believe?  Can we believe anyone anymore?

The best we can do is set our bullshit filters on "high" and just try to survive.
