    I'm in a much better mood, but I haven't watched the big 3 for years now. Feel much better, oh I don't read much in the news paper either.


    Drug free don't feel any need for anti depressant drugs as I don't watch or read the depressing news. Most news is a video file of the horror of the day. Most TV is a video of who sleeping with who, who's your baby daddy.

    You know inside of me tell me that all this is necessary . The world needs change. People need change. We all need to take a look in the mirror once in awhile and check ourselves. The big 3 auto companies need to do this. Getting back to the American way of yesterday. you know earning a honest living is something to be proud of. Feeling thankful everyday for your health , your family , friends is Priceless. Coming home after a long day of honest work is rewarding. I think here in America , A lot of people got away from that. Look at the crime rate, think about how many people you have worked with you hate there jobs for all the wrong reason. All the people who feel they should be making more but don't work hard or honest to earn that right.What every happened to taking pride in your work? Where are all the craftsmen? Honestly people I think everything that is going on in the world is a wake up call. We collectively need to better ourselves if we want to turn things around. It takes all of us to work together to make America the land that it was created to be. Take it out of darkness and bright it to the light.

    Absolutely Beautifull. Well Said. I could not agree with you more. I have had job changes 5? or 6? times in the last 15 years. It's Tough. I thank God for what I have and, also realize there are people a lot worse off down south of me on the coast, and I do something about my fellow bretheren.. It is so sad.

    We have no 401K again. But I just try to joke about things and enjoy & laugh as much as, me and my wife can with our friends to keep from being so scared, and hope the new regeim doesn't make things worse.

    Just lately? I haven't tuned into a news channel in at least 7 years, most likely longer. It's nothing but a depressing waste of time.

    While I agree the news is depressing I also believe it does represent mostly the truth. A lot of people are being laid off and companies filing Bankruptcy. The company I have worked for 25 years after being in business for 111 years has filed Chapter 11.
