How angry are we these days?

[cilla4progress]

32. Totally...for all the reasons you say.

And like you, I've been sharing my political rants here, rather than FB. Safer. More common interests.

It feels to me like nothing "works" any more. It feels like "everyone" is just in there for the quick gain, monetarily, materially. I believe "we the people" see the CEOs, Congress, and other "leaders" and feel we need to pattern our lives after them. They ignore facts, science, and fight over nothing - grandstanding. They take us all for fools. They take no responsibility or accountability for their actions, impacts on people. Same thing with the corporations. What are corporations about after all? "Limited liability"; i.e., no accountability.

I started taking a CS Monitor survey the other day entitled "What Class Are You," the premise of which was "class" is something more than education and income. I came to question @ 7, and it asked you to agree or disagree with the following statement: "I believe most people one encounters are trustworthy." Several years ago I would have agreed; no longer. It stopped me in my tracks.

I believe (in a left-wing atheistic enviro-conscious way) we truly ARE in "last days." Whether from revolution, nuclear or environmental devastation. I think this is what is sending so many over the edge. As President Obama said: causing folks to "cling to their guns and religion." I thought there was a lot of truth in that statement!

Thank you for your post, 'girl. Blessings upon you.
