Wisconsin, Michigan, Japan, radiation, earthquake survival kits (suitcases), the spiraling down of the USA, it's overwhelming.  I am astonished at what's going on here in this country, barely making the "news." 

I know I'll leave California in at least a few years, there's no getting ahead here. That thought has been in the universe for a while now.

And in another amount of years, I think I could be happy in another country. I'm hearing great things about Australia and New Zealand. Or even Panama.

Events seem to be happening rapidly. I can't figure out what the neocons are up to.

I think it was Ben Franklin who said , "in a democracy, the people get the kind of government they deserve". Now we'll have to see after two years of the Republifascists showing their asses which way the pendulum swings. However, the fact is we undertax corporations and the rich, which means our governments, state and federal, are drowning in debt, and neither party seems able to either willing or able to tackle that fact.

I think the top 1 or 4% whatever it is, that's what they want. Someone said the rich want one thing, to get richer. So they divide us against each other.

It's not politicians that are governing, it's the corporations. Nothing is too ludicrous to suggest to cut as long as the rich are protected. The lone wolf politicians who do want to represent the people and who are good, I don't think they're strong enough to stand up to the corporate beast.

I really admire Wisconites and Michiganers, I apologize if that's not what we call them.

It's time for some yoga. ;-)
