Dont believe the hype college is not a scam despite what people are saying

11. I started studying history when I was seven years old..

That was in 1957, we moved into a house that had a giant stack of old National Geographics in a closet, included was the entire WWII era Geographics chock full of maps, photos and articles, every issue from 1942 to 1945 had at least one article on the war effort. I was enthralled and read all of those issues as well as all the rest many times and I've been informally studying history ever since.

It was obvious to me and to a lot of DUers when you were eight years old that Afghanistan was going to be a disaster, I made that prediction to my Marine son in law in 2001 and he thought I was an unpatriotic idiot. He hasn't been willing to discuss the subject with me for years now.

One of the few benefits of getting old is that you gain a different perspective, after a while you realize that many events are circular, similar situations in life and history recur over and over and you eventually start to recognize the signs of a particular cycle starting.

It's my opinion that things are going to get worse, possibly much worse before they start getting significantly better. If and when Obama is reelected this country is going to experience a ragegasm from the Teabaggers and the Wingnuts the like of which we haven't seen in a century and a half and it's going to be duck and cover time..

On the other hand if Romney or some other Republican is elected things are going to get much worse, they always do under Republicans since at least Gerry Ford if not Nixon..

Honestly I think it's going to be a race between our stupid ability to destroy ourselves and our intelligent ability to develop other options, as a grandfather I fervently hope intelligence will prevail but I'm not particularly sanguine about the prospects..
