I am a contractor for the government. I am a vet. I am a member of the NRA. And for the longest time (even though I visit this site alot) I've
had my doubts.
No more.
I may be more fortunate than most, in two months my book goes on the market and boy-oh-boy am I gonna invest in gold! Look for it at Barnes and
Nobles!
(ps contact me if you want for an advanced copy, it's a humour book, nothing serious)
I'm planning for the short term, having lost too damn much money with a 401K AND a 403b and all I want is to keep my family safe and secure.
I just hope the economy limps along long enough for me to collect a couple of royalty checks.
When I saw this news break, I had previously thought that we had at least a couple of years left, now I hope for 6 months before things turn to
compost.
I am not ready to give up, give in, or be a part of some 'brave new world'.
But I don't know how to stop it. We are Americans. We can fix this. We can make it right again.
How?
That's the real question. Shouldn't we start a post on SOLUTIONS rather than crying about the problem we are all aware of?
I'll start, but I don't know yet. Don't be discouraged though, you'll be the first to know if I can think of something because it's not in me to
quit, it's not in me to go "gentle into that dark night", you can bet your last gold sou that I am going to "rage, rage, against the dying of the
light"!!!
