I lost everything from a lifetime of work in 2000, had to lay off the people in my company, then got hit with some personal stuff and on and on. But that's life and the most important thing in life is getting up—not how often you're knocked down. So, Alicia, you and I and millions of others will get up and kick this mess out on its ass along with all the "leaders" who enabled it. I relate, Alicia, oh how I relate.

I think my fears stem mostly from my own financial situation. I'm not wealthy, I don't have tons of money in savings - I'm just a regular person who's suffered a couple of financial setbacks over the last few years and is trying to manage paying bills, eating, keeping the fuel tank from becoming empty, and the epic challenge that is working on the car. So, when I hear about how bad things are in the rest of the world - our economy - it's very discouraging. However, I wholeheartedly agree with you. It's the "outrage, anger, etc." that's always led me to my particular advocacy/movement callings. Hi Miki. I think my fears stem mostly from my own financial situation.

I agree that it's scary, but better emotions to encourage in yourself and others is outrage, anger, etc. They will help you get involved to change things. As long as people feel helpless and hopeless our so-called leaders will just go their merry way—on our backs. Alicia, thanks for stopping by.
