I give up!

[Taverner]

You bad guys win. Just tell me which Freedom Camp I'm supposed to move to, OK?

[PBS Poll-435]

1. Um. Ok

Winter depression came early this year, I guess.


What the hell is going on around here?

[Taverner]

3. Look around, they won

They fucked up every chance they got but they won.

Since the end of the New Deal, the 'deal' has been getting shittier and shittier

And now I know there's no way to stop it

So I'm giving up


PS: By they I mean the Conservative Machine. It really is a machine, and it has Democrats as well as Repubs.

2. I don't. Suck it!

[BeFree]

5. That is probably the wisest thing to do.

We have been deserted. Once more lied to and deceived. And way too many, even here on DU, are protecting the lies and deceits, so what's the use? They have won. We're done. Never thought I'd say it, but there it is.

[Capitalocracy]

9. If we've been deserted

then let's go it alone.

Come on, people, we don't need a top-down movement, we need a bottom-up one. Giving up is a terrible idea... we've got the numbers and we can win, we just have to be persistent and innovative and not count on someone like Obama to do it for us.

[Taverner]

11. We need to smile and be safe

Hey, the folks in Rome had no idea they weren't a Republic anymore - for about 50-100 years.

6. Dibs on the top bunk

I called it.

[AnArmyVeteran]

17. Anyone know where & when we get microchips implanted in our brains?

Will some of us be culled and 'disposed of'? I guess I just want a little certainty but I know I'm being selfish. I'm still expecting too much. But maybe there will be reeducation camps to set us straight. Not knowing brings the most stress.

[Yeahyeah]

7. George Carlin was right.

[Taverner]

8. Yes he was. The big club. And you and I ain't in it.

These people own everything - they own you...

[Pholus]

10. You're being optimistic. Do you think the rich guys will leave us bunks and three squares?

[Taverner]

12. Who said anything about bunks and squares?

We'll be lucky if they don't gas us on the way

[Pholus]

13. Well, we probably will be employed for a while before *that*...

Actually I can see the headline:

Unemployment dips below 5% thanks to "Freedom Camps"....

We always have to make the news positive if we can!

[Catshrink]

14. Maybe we'll finally find out about Area 51.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. All empires consume the core before finally falling

Look at the USSR in the last five years...Spain around 1890, the English Empire in between the wars...Rome for that matter...

American Exceptionalism is but a myth, and we're two seconds from the fall. The current constitutional crisis might even bring the end before 2012, and after that truly all bets are off...oh the howling for the tenth amendment is about to get much louder, like 1859...

No, these are not happy thoughts...

I gave up on the US a while ago, just waiting for what replaces it.

[AnArmyVeteran]

16. Me too. Will we get bread & water? Or leftover scraps from the plates of the rich?
