I look at what is happening, Westi: the destruction of dreams of lives of ease and easy wealth and I think about the values that made our country great -- that these can be reborn after the US has been broken down. It's early in that process, IMO.

The alternative is: the late 90's was our swan song -- not impossible if you read what brought down some of the great empires before.

At any rate, for the one who has their faith in God -- it's a win either way. For all the corruption, I think this country still has a very large number of people intent on doing good -- at any personal cost.

I am reminded of the wonderful story of Jonah -- he didn't wanna go, he didn't wanna proclaim destruction to the Ninevites -- then when they repented he was angry and frustrated that God had mercy and didn't destroy them then -- then there was the thing with the plant -- lovely on many levels to long to detail here, but I said all that to say this -- pray for the aftermath, pray for mercy, pray for the stump that will remain ... His plans are more fantastic than we can imagine.

see - this stuff abounds still -- when folks get really pessimistic that there will be no turnaroung -- then it will be coming, IMO.
