As Wall Street posts another great year of profits and American corporations post their largest quarterly profits ever recorded in US history, an estimated 5 million Americans who have been unemployed for more than two years still can't find jobs, qualify for unemployment benefits, or count on happy holidays.

2. I wish it would hurry up and get here
This is like having friends who are drug addicts, hoping they reach that "ultimate low" that hopefully will make them stop their self destruction before they actually self destruct.

Only difference is I will probably end up following them if they do.

3. I'm going to spark it. I'm fed up with stories like this one.
Look what Jon Stewart accomplished along with the 9/11 responders.

WE CAN DO IT TOO.

Look at how those repubs backed down...they're used to us all
sitting quietly and taking it. They won't know what to do if we all
respond the way Stewart and Co. fought back.

4. I'm sick of stories like this too. What do you suggest 'we' do?
We're not Jon Stewart or the 9/11 responders. I just don't know what to do.

5. Snap back! Buy a 1 oz. silver coin!
Sometimes symbolic responses can push back. An explication for a reply. ;-)

6. I think that's exactly what some people were doing this holiday
spening season. January will tell the tale if that worked.

7. This is not a short-term project.
It's a symbolic "buy and hold" in which all who can afford the price of 1 oz. of silver can participate.

9. If a gult trip balances the books in the end it's the logical way to go.

Merry fuckin christmas everybody. Enjoy your re-hashed mithra/osiris, hercules myth based pagan solstice celebration rip-off!
