markj,

Henley really nailed it, didn't he?

Every age likes to presume that it is the most tumultuous, catastrophic, etc. I tend not to subscribe to that, but I honestly believe that these United States are set for a rendezvous with some hard, ugly times. We've simply done something which cannot be sustained, which is to spend ourselves into utter destitution.

They have our souls who have our bonds. <shudder>
