Who is just tired of trying to figure out what to do
with their economic, educational, healthcare, mortgage,
and continued downsizing situation, every single day?
People are just IMO, average people, depressed and not in a state
of panic but a state of numbness. I am a babyboomer but things are
pretty screwed up and I went through the 60's and 70's. I was more
carefree then, though.
Some have things worse than others. Most of us got used to things
being pretty good in the 90's. We don't know how to act
not even having a day to work something out with a phone company and
light bill without a shut off notice. We don't know how to really
respond to anything IMO because of the de sensitivity of the Bush
Administration from his lying futile wars, to bringing the country
to it's knees in economic and retirement ruin.

People are just IMO, average people, depressed and not in a state
of panic but a state of numbness. They get up and do the
same thing every single day, dodging phone calls, acting like
all is well, and some are just drinking and drugging and
going off the wall.
What part of all of this does the wealthy not understand?
Are they so hollow inside that they cannot see that we
have not become a nation of whiners but yet a nation of despair.

I stopped by the Waffle House yesterday, only to see a recovering stroke
victim at the age of 72 standing on her feet taking orders for eggs and
waffles. God Bless Her. I saw elderly people counting their change
in a checkoutline at the gas station. No they were not buying gas. They were
scraping up a dollar for a lottery scratch off.
I tell my kids, "No, we can't afford that". That's OK, they are
not all that spoiled. I am just tired of every single day and every single month, robbing Peter to pay Paul, rationing things I used to
buy at a whim and saying No all the time. It is enough to make me say,
Screw all of this and walk away from every bill I got and rent a three
bedroom trailer in the middle of nowhere.
I hate the fact that somewhere along the line I fell into the
responsibility trap and believing buying a house would be a good investment and people really do achieve if they work hard enough.
I used to believe people were held accountable for wrongdoings. I thought
my kids were getting a good education and not dealing with class warfare along with
gangs and right winged extremest kids.
We as a nation or We as a community are Waaaaaaaay off track and
I have no clue when it will ever work again. Depressing Diary, I know.
I woke up or am so frustrated, not thinking straight. whatever, I am
tired.
