FF, all things considered, he's doing fantastic. No direct symptoms, as far as i can tell. he has a lazy eye that might be related, but we'll see if patch therapy can help. my observation is that selfishness will eventually ruin any system. period. in that sense, there is no reasonable solution until selfishness is set aside precisely so that people can be reasonable. until then, reasonable is off the table. i surely have no trust or faith in government - either party. are we out of iraq yet? has our defense budget, which we can no longer afford, shrunk yet? did obama campaign on starting more wars and displacing 2 million pakistani people? why aren't the dems outraged at obama's acts of aggression? did obama cut off the bankster from public funds as he promised he would do? has obama shut out special interests or invited them to wine and dine them and cut deals screwing the american people and fattening his pockets? did obama really sign off $8 billion in earmarks a few months after promising never to do that? is gitmo shut down? are we paying as we go yet? shoot, there is another lie i wanted to list, but the list is too long to remember them all. - fannie - failure - freddie - failure - social security - ponzie scheme failure - medicare - ponzi scheme, failure - post office - failure - FEMA - failure - regulating the economy - complete failure - fiscal discipline - complete failure - $3 billion for primarily foreign vehicles, but no $3 billion for homeless shelters as unemployment skyrockets due to governmental and bankster fraud. ahhh, but CA government found a way to increase pensioners pulling in over $100k 6-fold since 2004. they are good at what they care about!
