You're talking about "panic".

A few here are very well informed and aren't all "the sky is falling" types that you might think. A healthy amount of preparedness is called for when a man of Obama's predilections attains the highest and most powerful post in this nation.

There is one whale of a lot at stake. To many people are buried in entertaining themselves to have a clue of the real position of the U.S.in this world. For all the "evil" they claim to exist here and among our politicians, we have been a force that has prevented a very lethal and dangerous Russia, China, North Korea, and many others from playing out their much more evil plans.

Our nation is largely asleep and, we exist on a planet where almost no one realizes what our nation's mere presence has prevented. We are close to losing it all. Most all of the "evil" regimes on planet earth are aware of our nation's almost total lack of any will. We are more and more dominated in our own poiltics by greedy, corrupt, and powerful people.

Don't bother to comment the usual foolishness of "Bush" being the reason to eveything wrong. I know some are aware. He is far from perfect but, is also, far the lesser of many evils in this country.

Personally, I'm aware of what is playing out in a lot of arenas. I'm not in a state of panic. At the same time I have a healthy awareness and respect for what is happening. We can't afford to wait "six months" and see how it will all pan out. "Waiting" is a luxury that is going to combine with "dead asleep". There isn't a lot we can do but, you had better wake up and stay that way.. For those of us who do subscribe to a "higher calling", if you want to call it that, yes, we do need to pray and pray a lot.
