I'm sure that there are many who've felt that it's been going there, but the past couple of years, I have been, even more so then usual.

Every time I read an article about the state of affairs, I get the feeling we're shackled to corporations who send jobs overseas and want our every last dime, politicians who are so cowardly that IF they know, they do nothing about it, or so stupid they don't know the difference.

Then there's the public that just doesn't seem to care, or if they do know something, they blame the wrong people, or say something like "The United States will go on forever"

Yea, the Romans thought the same way about Rome.

Yep, we're doooooooooooooooooooomed...:rolleyes:

And we can't have a thread like this without...

I had a roommate who wanted to move to Panama. Try to guess why. Because in America you get charged a late fee if you pay your credit card late. I kid you not. His exact words were, "I hate this country. I can't wait to move to Panama." When I pointed out that Panamanian Visa wants to be paid on time as well, he got pissed off.

Yeah. Go to Panama. Knock yourself out. :rolleyes: Funny, though. These people never seem to leave. It's been 10 years and Alec Baldwin is still here.
