Ok people, I don't really care what part of this site you frequent, what theories you subscribe to, what your opinion is on who killed JFK, why there's a swine flu, or what happened on 911.
The fact of the matter is that, whoever you are, be it a member, moderator, admin, or lurker, we can all agree that there is massive change happening in this world, and even an optimist has a hard time saying that the next 5 years will be a great time for humanity.
The road has been paved, and we know time is running out. You feel it when you wake up, when your at work, you feel that urgency. You know what I am saying cause you can feel it, you just know things are about to explode.
What everyone including my self (until now) has failed to see is that we have far past our pinnacle of freedom, and ability to express ourselves. EVERY single day past today, until the explosion, is only going to get worse for our freedom. There are no better days in our near future, than tomorrow, we all know and can feel that fact. But we deny it, because we seriously don't want to face it. The perverse interest in our own destruction is the way to feel as if we know what is coming, and try to play a role in its path, but as we wait for that moment the sands of time pass us by.
There are things that you enjoy in this life, but have let fall by the waist side, and instead let your life and actions be ruled by fear, whether conscious or unconsciously being aware of that fact. I was once told that people are just a sum of their experiences, and throughout my life, it has become painfully obvious that that is an absolute fact. I think I realize now, that I want more and more experiences, so when my life flashes by my eyes, I know I lived it to the fullest, and not waiting in front of a computer screen, to figure out how and why I will die.
Get outside, enjoy the life that's left, and seize the day. Make sure to love those you care about, and share moments that will last forever. Stop letting fear ruin your life, literally.

I don't think everyone is here online looking for the ways they are going to die (other than the 2012ers). Most of us are looking for answers as to how we got in this situation and conveying ideas to each other of may be done to get out of this situation. It seems to be a defeatists attitude to say, it's all over, go out and hug your loved ones because we are all doomed within the next five years or a variation of being doomed nonetheless. I agree, show your loved ones more affection and indeed, get away from this political diatribe occasionally so as to not drive yourself crazy. I would suggest though, at this critical moment in political processes that you don't dare divert your eyes from the battlefield. That's what they want us to do. It is said that in a fight, don't ever take your eyes off of your opponent, for when you do, that is when he will strike or make his move. We got into this mess in the first place by running away and not riding their backs while they plan their nefarious schemes.At the worst possible time in history, it is not wise to continue letting them run the American gauntlet unobserved by "We The People". I like where your heart is though. Abstractly, this is still a good idea.

Oh my! Another one.
Umerikka the ONLY nation on planet Earth.
I forgot that all of the other continents and islands on the planet vanished beneath the rising tides caused by Al Gore (another moron).
When will these "good ol' America" Yanks get off their soap box?
I know some Americans that are equally tired of hearing the same old clap trap.
America isn't the only nation on the planet, so please stop the diatribe that makes out that it is.
It is small wonder people get annoyed (or worse still - stop listening) because of this "America IS GREAT" rubbish.
A nation isn't great... the people that do great things are!
Simple.

Next 5 years will be great - people are waking up from a deep coma to the conclusion that they live in illusion created by monetary system.
When money will be abolished, and no rulers, governments, leaders, masters and no teachers will be present, then this (for some people) frustrating transition period will end.
