Save Social Security!!!

it's cold outside. frozen ice on the windshield cold. i wish it would snow or something just to give the cold some reason for being so damn cold.

anyway, there's lots going on these days worthy of a post. it would be interesting to comment on politics, but that leads to a heart of darkness. The further down the river we go, the worse it gets until we realize what our president stands for and even worse, his followers. i am not sure i want to travel down that road without some mild halleucinagenics. But, seriously, does anyone really believe that he's "saving social security" for anyone but the corporate interests? IE--the banks, oil companies and others who would benefit from "safe" investments. there's no doubt in my mind that there are worse problems in our society right now than social security, but it's one of those problems that annoys the rich because it's such a large government program and they want to raid it and dismantle it so that there's nothing greater than themselves.

It took a major financial collapse and a world war to create some of the social programs that exist today. Once the Republican leaders have their way, it will take something along the same lines to ever achieve social equity. But, I'm afraid that it might not be that easy. Just pray to God that when it happens, there's finally some sense in this world and someone else in power to handle the coming crisis...
