So now I am curious. What's the proportion of people who arent' getting it who think it's a bad idea vs. those who are?

(I think it's stupid cheesy politics that completely avoids the problems that led to these circumstances. I would be getting something.)

I am remembering some fo those grand generalizations of history... such as "the cure for a recession is a war." Welp, that's not going to work here.

So, that makes me think - but waht *is* it a bout a war that does that turnaround thing? Is it just the economics of having to produce stuff? How important is it that the people are united and feeling a sense of solidarity and community... and, therefore, if we could rally behind something else, and somehow get dem capitalists to decide to market something besides death...

I'm waiting on a couple of sort of windfalls - a reimbursement for work-related trip expenses and getting an abandoned 1K CD out of escheat in Virginia. That can pay down a chunk of my mortgage and land that Dahon in the back seat of my Xtracycle. Oh, and a mattress... my back says please, a mattress...
