The Public Mood

Americans are fearful for their own and their childrens' future. More and more people see a role for government in our lives to help smooth out the rough edges of our society. As I've written before, government is NOT perfect, but we have to have it to balance some things, even if only temporarily. If you happened to see some of the testimony of the oil execs before a congressional panel the other day, one of the execs, when pressed about the high price of energy and the effect on many Americans, said something to the effect, that life isn't easy. This comes from a guy earning millions of bucks every year! I've said it here before, their attitude is "I've got my millions and the hell with you bunch of losers!" If things continue to deteriorate, I've got to believe that Americans will finally take matters into their own hands. Then this guy and others like him will find out that life REALLY isn't easy, when they're looking down the barrels of an execution squad. It has happened in other parts of the world, and don't think it can't happen here, too. If things don't change here soon, it may be the only way to get the country back from these ruthless, greedy, egomaniac SOBs.
