If we are headed for doom because of a default, you can assume that it is intended by both sides. The status quo is so easy for TPTB to continue when you take into consideration that all it takes is a bunch of mindless distractions to keep the average american entertained through all of this. Keep the Pepsi flowing, the tv pumping out "mouth gaping" garbage and a slew of adverts tailored to each individual surfer and you can surely keep kicking this can, even uphill!

You took the words right out of my mouth. Have you ever wondered how incredibly dense the populace is? I love the game of football, but I'm stating to think pro sports are truly "the opiate of the masses." We're too focused on our celebs and athletes, junk food and crappy music to worry about what some corrupt old farts in a domed building in D.C. are doing to pull the rug out from under us.
