you read news articles like the ones below… people starving, oil prices insane, the world having to support an increasing, more demanding population with limited resources, the ramifications of global warming happening RIGHT NOW. Some days it feels like a slow Armageddon unfolding.

My instincts are too save our money and just to be ready…have a plan..although I don’t know what to plan for. I have thought about taking survivalist classes…  I taek my job seriously, but it is hard to focus on 3.5 year old meltdowns, errands and “important” stuff when people are starving RIGHT NOW and the future feels so bleak. It feels like our own planet is slowly going to rid itself of us and I can’t blame it.

I can however blame the Bush administration for its complete short sightedness on these important issues and instead wasting our money and energy in wars. Years from now I hope he ends up on the “worst of the worst” administrations list. In these last 8 years, we needed a visionary…I can only hope that the Dems pull it out in this election.

I have to close my ears sometimes because otherwise I would spend my day in disgust, sadness and worry for what the future holds and questioning my bringing children into such a place. Our governments isn’t doing crap and don’t really see to care…and are so damn short-sighted..
