Depression

It's kind of  sad and scary when the  TV is starting to look like your Social Studies textbook.  What does it say about our lives, country and future? How do you feel when the only difference between the pictures hanging up in class, and the photos on the news, are that ours are in color. Do you feel... okay? Do seventy years solve a problem? Do they erase a repeating decimal? Do you think the people living in Hoover-villes pictured their grandchildren out there, living in tents, just like them, for the same reason? We all thought this was behind us, and we were better than that. It was all history. Well it's not. GUESS WHAT, ITS NOT! Because we are still not smart enough to let go of our greed, and too ignorant to realize this is all still possible. Nothing ever happens twice but disasters reoccur. Welcome to the Second Great Depression.
