Positive action in response to economic pain

[emily_in_nc]

I have friends who have told me "Oh I don't even watch the news or keep up with the world anymore because it's always bad news and it just depresses me."

That's my mother-in-law to a "t". I call it putting your head in the sand. Only by knowing what is going on can we hope of doing anything to change things that aren't right. I agree with all you said here, Lisa.
