Is This the End of Capitalism?

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26101238/

The government takeover or guarantee of financial markets in so many markets is very scary. It's the take over of the capitalist system. No more free market- no more risk of failure. And MASSIVE government debt!

Enough!

Let things fail. That is the price to pay for stupidity.

Tennessee Church Shooting

That was my church.

I'm OK, but I lost a friend. It's been a wild week. A lot of emotion and pain. There have been so many meetings with folks I haven't seen in a long time. It's been pretty overwhelming.

I'm not used to being around so many people, so I'm a little burned out.

Things Heating Up...

Obama in the Middle East acting Presidential.....


McCain interviewing possible running mates.....

Bush trying hard as hell to keep the focus on his big ego.


I know Bush has some last-minute crap to pull. Especially if Obama is elected. And right now, that looks almost a forgone conclusion....

Been a while- things heating up

It's been a while, and I refused to get involved or comment but Bush did it again, and I really think he needs to be stopped.

I'm afraid he will try to start up with Iraq before he leaves that office. He's beginning to pull troops out of Iran - and what do you think he will do with them??? Give them the rest they so richly deserve? No - he'll push them even further. I'm surprised they haven't completely revolted. As soon as they are out of Iraq, they might.

I saw a bumper sticker- "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing it's idiot" and I heartily agree.

OK, I admit it that my feelings are hurt that Hillary didn't get the nomination. Am I behind Obama? Not sure. I'm not behind McCain. That's all I can say. It's a "lesser of evils" situation. Obama has no experience. Put someone like that in control of the greatest military force ever known? Put someone who has never known the pain of losing to party machinations - and what will he do?

Bush is leaving the Presidency more powerful than ever before and than designed by the framers. The next presidents may abuse it even further. An inexperienced man in the office can wreak havoc or make the world a much better place. I'm taking a "wait-and-see" attitude for now.

How many think Bush will impose martial law and stop the elections? Post your comments here.

Mom's Gone

I lost my mom this morning. I've been pretty preoccupied. Having a lot in my head.

Not paying attention to much else for a while.
