True! If THIS continueing "recession" continues to generate more ignorant people, then the 2012 Mayan prophecy about an end of the world will come true --- people will be so benightly ignorant that they'll become and thus disappear into black holes -- flaws in the smooth flow of space & time (or, spacetime.) Even so, they'll be better people than the Wall St and bankster slugs who're responsiible for this mess.
If kingskibo had any experience with recession, depression, or what the hell ever you want to call it, he would have realized that recession/depression-type pitfalls leave most true human beings (excluding primates, lemurs, and even the ocassional sub-humanoid conservative) in mentally/emotionally scarred conditions.
As a counselor, I have to deal with the real fallout of this economic plague. I've even begun to encounter a few who've become, what,at best,can be called, "human haters." Those who've been econ down so long and hard that they see all others as the cause of their plight due to our so highly-vaunted system of "competition." We're safe as long as they stay on their meds. If not, we'll soon hear more about the growing number of them on the evening news.
Pellasux, what planet do you live on. You certainly aren't a historian. Because if you read what actually happened to many kids during the Great Depression you would not try to food anyone with that load of crap. Children ended up on the state and my god, they suffered in ways that were unimaginable to those of us today. Child abuse and prostitution was enormous as children where abandoned in the streets. Go look at Dorethea Lange's photo journalism of the Great Depression. Children starved to death or died of rampant malnutrition. I really hate it when people try to tell themselves the past was better.
During the depression people who could not take cake of their children too steps to protect their kids. They left the kids with family, friends, or turned them over to the state. No matter what happened the kids were taken care of! Now we have parents that are letting their kids go hungry. The parents hold up their kids and beg for the whole family to be taken care of. Before this recession if it was discovered that childeren were not being fed, the state would take away the kids. The parents may have even been charged with child endangerment. My question is why isn't it being done now. Parents MUST be told that they have to make certain the kids are being taken care or, if they don't, they will lose them and possibly punished. DON'T reward parents that don't have the intelligence or decency to think of their kids first. The state could take the kids only until their parents get back on their feet. This story really stunk because it looked at the issue from a twisted point of view.

Please don't include me in your "everbody" unless you're talking about all the positives I've benefited from. Cheap cruises, shorter lines in nice restaurants, less people on the golf course.
The most imminent threat to our youth is the govrnments tolerance on food ingredients and the long term effects of feeding our food supply reprocessed forms of that spieces. The parents work hard to raise thier children to the best of thier ability as far as education and in most cases respnsibility .The parents are more often now than twenty years ago feeding thier children to death . It is mind boggling how a pet owner will seek out the best food available for thier pet and feed thier children the worst possible edible product that really doesn't deserve to be called food.
If Sarah Palin was running the economy we would all be living on Seal Blubber and Berries i.e. Hunting and Gathering. I mean, I'll admit the girl has some survivalist skills but seriously, hot air does not put the 10 million jobs lost because of Bush's folly back to work, Government stimulus does.
It is because big corporations who run the government do not care about human life, only profits. It is going to be a tough thing to turn back the fascism, take money and power away from these right wing fanatics and restore power to the people. We must do it though if we care about the health and safety and the future of our kids.
Boo hoo. boo hoo. Does anyone remember the cold war? Nuclear attack drills? How about the energy crisis of the 70's, or viet Nam. oh yeah like this recession is any worse than the depression. Bunch of pansies learning to play soccer. Bad parents will have more of an effect on these kids than any financial condition.
