Actually, I think we’re more like 1929 than 1932, but close enough.

“I also think that the economic collapse is not over by a long shot. We are in 1932 and 1968 at the same time.”

I agree with your short term assessment re the economy vs. security. And I have been thinking the same thing about the link you’ve seen between 1932, the ’60s and now. Excellent.

1,787 DAYZ AND THE KILLIN’ GOEZ ON AND ON AND…

Citizen newtonuser:

I listened to my parents and my grampa (yes, I had a “Gampa Ole”) speak about the “great Depression” and the terrible grindin’ pain of the people brought on by constant struggle and existential fear. I was born in 1946 so my education and socialization included heavy doses of WWI and WWII and the history of workin people through study of the union movement. The last great change happened in the 30’s and 40’s and the leader that sheparded folks thru it was born into office on the tide of fear and hope I mentioned above. In 1968, the country again experienced the fear and anger brought on by the slow realization that the promise and hope given to the children since the end of WWII were bein slowly bled out into the rice paddies on SE Asia. But the country had not yet experienced the reality of deprivatrion and the loss and threat to existance of economic collapse so we didn’t get the full measure of change we were jest able to painfully pull ourselves outta VietNam but not without terrible social wounds. Toay people are faced with the extistential threat posed by emminent economic collapse…yes, the country is more than ready!

KEEP THE FAITH AND DON’T LET FEAR TAKE THE REST OF YOUR FUTURE!!

Norske, I’m proud of my 20 yrs of service, fortunately, I never had to fire a shot in anger! I fervently pray that my kids(I’d shoot’em if they did join) and future grandkids can say that…

Yeah. So, I’m thinking of going over to Venezuala and asking Hugo Chavez if he needs a good American cook. Maybe cook for all the people he’s been taking care of that we don’t hear so much about. Fantasy….yet.
As the incredible ” young bloods” have been teaching me - socialism isn’t dead. We can envision taking care of our own.Why not that vision, with strength. Why not.
As I tell them …Remember what the Black Panther guy at that rally said…Our generation has fought the battles. We can’t do it anymore. Now it is your time. We can support you and aid you but it is your time now.
That’s a constant humor point in our house.” Well,in my time.”….because there is an attitude among some newly-aged protesters to be so painfully holier-than-thou while asking 4 youths ” WHY There Are NO Young People….?”
“Why are you hiding your face?”
“There’s ALWAYS been surveillance, get used to it.”
“In MY DAY we weren’t afraid to show our faces.”
In the words of Bart Simpson ” It’s not your day. “
It’s tough being a homeschool mother trying to figure out the best way to approach living in historic times. Government, Constitution,Civics. Bring bail money.
So we protest and build little bridges in our community .
