"We are turning into a nation of whimpering slaves to Fear—fear of war, fear of poverty, fear of random terrorism, fear of getting down-sized or fired because of the plunging economy, fear of getting evicted for bad debts or suddenly getting locked up in a military detention camp on vague charges of being a Terrorist sympathizer."
— Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, "Extreme Behavior in Aspen," February 3, 2003
We are long past the point were 'everything is broken' and 'the sun is setting on the wheel and the plow.' None of the models work, the system can not sustain itself, oil rising, real estate falling - 'fasten your seat belts its going to be a bumpy ride.' I don't even think we have four years.
