America 1776-2011
America is dead.. we have an economy in shambles. a dysfunctional congress who is going to shut the the government down in 10 days. We have a president who despite overwhelming evidence of fraud of wall street has tossed no bank exec in jail or even indicted them.

the stock market is crashing.. confidence is hitting historic lows..
and the neros in washington are fiddling while rome burns..

Im wondering if the right wing nut jobs are right and if its time for me to go to the gun store and arm myself to the teeth.
when your government fails what left?

4. I agree!
Theft 2000 was the bullet in the heart.

7. All correct but the date of death
which was 11/22/63. Everything has been going to hell ever since that day.

9. Actually you're
right. It wasn't theft 2000; it was that awful November day. I remember it well. I lived in Washington, DC then, and nothing has ever been the same.

8. I agree it is a grizzly of a day for the Dow.
About the rest? Forget the gun and stay away from alcohol, sharp objects, and upper story windows.

10. Correction America 1776-1981
America died January 20, 1981 with the inauguration of RR.

It has been downhill ever since.

The Grand Experiment has FAILED.
