Darleen, I see you are very worried and quite justifiably so. Unfortunately, I don't know what to tell you to help you feel better.
I guess it all has to do with power, the cost of having that power and, of course, the lust for power by the little men who strive for it --- and, indeed, attempt to keep it.
Unfortunately, nothing I can say or do can avert what is to come. Indeed it is hard for me to preach any anti-war sentiment to those who seem determined to look for war when, in fact, they don't need to.
Regrettably, I feel the US is now on a collision course with the inevitable flow of history where it feels that it cannot "go with the flow" but must oppose it in order to prevail.
I agree with you that your nation is more at risk from the inside than the outside and I also agree that your economy is in a helluva mess. Indeed, I feel that the US would benefit far more from a friendly and co-operative relationship with the rest of the world rather than this new angry, adversarial, "Don't mess with me" attitude.

Anyway, it's possible it may not happen and to make you smile here's a "medical" joke:
ONE NIGHT STAND--------
One night, a man and a woman are at a bar downing a few beers. They strike up a conversation and quickly discover that they're both doctors.
After about an hour, the man says to the woman, "Hey, how about we sleep together tonight? No strings attached. It'll just be one night of fun."
The woman agrees. So they go back to her place.
She goes into the bathroom and starts scrubbing up like she's about to go into the operating room. She scrubs for a good 10-20 minutes.
Finally, she goes into the bedroom and they have sex for an hour or so.
Afterwards, the man says to the woman, "You're a surgeon, aren't you?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"I could tell by the way you scrubbed up before we started."
"Oh, that makes sense," says the woman, "you're an
anesthesiologist aren't you?"
"Yeah," says the man, a bit taken aback. "How did you know?"
The woman answers, "I didn't feel a thing." |
