They are slaves to poverty. Their ranks will be swelled by the coming collapse.<br /><br />When the maggots take control of one of the reins of government on Tuesday, and use their regained power with all the stupidity of a angry teenager with a shotgun at the prom he couldn't get a date for, you're going to see America smack into the brick wall of fiscal collapse.<br /><br />All it's going to take is one refusal to raise the federal debt ceiling -- even if it's just for a week or two, done for show to prove to the mouth-breathers that "See? We're DOING something about runaway government spending!" -- and that will set off the avalanche of monetary collapse. It's gonna happen that the rest of the world is going to reject the U.S. dollar, because the American system is too unreliable and crooked.<br /><br />I aree with you that America will be destroyed from within, like Sparta, by chaotic, angry slaves. It's going to take a lot of good people down with it, probably including Canada. Mrs. Bukko, who still dislikes Australia, is already talking about how we might go back there if the U.S. goes down hard enough and takes this decent, and mostly successful at multi-culturalizing, country with it.<br /><br />I have one wish for the Teabagging ball-lickers who intend to destroy the U.S. -- DO IT QUICKLY! I only have unlimited ins-and-outs privileges to Australia until January 2014. It's going to take some time to organize a move, unless we flee with just the stuff we can carry in suitcases, so you rightwing bastards need to start the assassinations and anarchy by the 2012 presidential elections. I know can can do it!Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-75138211061161736782010-10-31T15:34:27.211-07:002010-10-31T15:34:27.211-07:00A video with the Blind Boys of Alabama -- good ony...A video with the Blind Boys of Alabama -- good onya! When I was still living in Florida in the 1990s, there was an alternative radio station in Tampa (WMNF, 88.5 FM) that would play the song a lot. Not this Solomon Burke version -- it's been recorded a lot, <a href="http://lyrics.wikia.com/Lynyrd_Skynyrd:None_Of_Us_Are_Free" rel="nofollow">even by Lynyrd Skynrd, apparently,</a> since Ray Charles did it in 1963. (The trivia one can learn from teh Internets tubez...)<br /><br />I got to see the Blind Boys at a cool Tampa club called Skipper's Smokehouse, where the stage is right outside under a roof of moss-festooned live oak trees. I detest religion almost as much as Christopher Hitchens, but those guys are powerful and moving. If there were more Christians like them, then "Christian" might not be such a disgusting term to so many of us.Bukko Boomerangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424677168216647964noreply@blogger.com
