  1. I agree, and I'm worried. There's no way they're going to go quietly into the night. The ones with power, are fully addicted to it. And the simple minded followers, it's a radical religion to them.

  2.  @jackesioto  Yeah, I go back and forth when it comes to "standard of living". It's something I think about often. In many respects, it is much better, or higher, nowadays. It is now common for every home to have a clothes washer and dryer, landline (if desired) in every room, cable tv (and/or internet) showing virtually every thing ever produced on video in every room, every driver in the household having a personal car. We have 24 hour supermarkets, drive thru fast food, and with Amazon and others, basically anything we want to buy can be delivered to us within two days. Contrary to popular belief, our healthcare has advanced incredibly from a few decades ago. Many operations are now outpatient and nearly harmless and symptom free. We have lots of prescriptions that help keep our arteries open and our blood pressure low. Our cars are much safer, ride nicer, come with all the nice amenities that we all want, and I could go on and on. Back when I was a child, and for the generation before me, many homes only had one TV, which only got about 5-6 channels. Only one car for the whole family, which the father usually took to work. One non-portable phone that everyone in the house had to use. Most homes had a clothes washer, but many didn't have a dryer. And again, I could go on and on. Pretty much everything was harder to do or took longer to do. Yet, everyone seemed happier and more content. Families got by with only the father working, and having less of everything (compared to today), but somehow it seemed better maybe because it was more "normal". I just don't know how to feel about it. Deep down, I admit that today's standard of living is probably leaps and bounds better than 3, 4, or 5 decades ago, but I just have an uneasy feeling that fewer people are truly happier. I often wish I could have been growing up in the '50's or 60's.

  3. Yep! "We beat Medicare" was the tipping point. That is the point he lost the debate, and all the world saw it happen live. That was when it was obvious he could never win the election. ONLY THEN did the Dems start pressuring him to withdrawal. If it wasn't for that moment, they would have kept him in, and the media would have continued telling us he was the best he's ever been. Truly pathetic.
