Yes it does. But what if it depends on its crash also?

the west was propped up. we were really convinced for a while we are any different. that we are immune to the "outside worlds problems".

we were built to be raped. nothing more nothing less.

That in my opinion describes how we are governed here in the US.

Dont feel bad we have the same thing here in canada. it is all over europe now also.

but i would say it is a big problem in the usa. the patriotism has become blinded and mis directed.

well, there are four ways to measure your success:
your house
your car
your shoes
the beauty of your wife/girlfriend

like or hate it, that's the basic truth

success = happiness. happiness can be all sorts of things. its just plain fact that the majority of people in the world will never acheive real financial success.

absolutely! less is more. having material items ties you down. people need to simplify their lives. besides everything you have worked to acquire can be gone at the drop of a hate.. fire, theft , jail, natural disaster, etc.. in an instant you have all your material items, next instant it's gone and so is your perceived happiness.

Still got your escalade?
