The world is waking up. People know that we cannot continue down this road any longer. There are other forces of a cosmic nature which are tearing down these outworn structures. It's a purification that is very unsettling but will eventually lead to more parity. I, for one, cannot wait!

I tried to make that point to some of the rightwing boneheaded asses that post on outside blogs, but no facts disrupt their blind mouthing off.

(7,968 posts)I don't think it is nearly as dire as the right-wing leaning pundits thought it would be. Yeah some rich people stand to lose some money. That's probably a very good thing for most of us but not for the media and for segments of the market.
On the other hand - now might be a time to make some truly wise investments as the capitalists are usually dead wrong when they go off the handle about something like this.
