I haven't decided if I am going to keep this site open for much longer. I have been neglecting it for some time because I was involved in another site. When my tenure at the other site ended abruptly yesterday, I thought of opening my own blogger site. I will let you know what I decide.

I was hoping that things would begin to get better here after the elections, but I am starting to think otherwise. I think that the elections don't matter because the damage is done. It is a matter of time before we will see the results of the assault on our economy over the last few years. The path has been set and there is no way to derail it. Everything from the economy to war to the newest "terror" legislation will begin to unfold soon. Yes, I know I sound bleak, but what choice do I have.
