I think mine is less partisan.
I win.

I wish I could. I nearly destroyed my life with my mistakes at a young age. I'm no leader outside of my small world. We need inspirational figures, like Obama pretended to be but real ones.
I don't see any, do you?
I think it's going to take one whopper of a depression, as bad or worse than the 1930s. We need an attitude adjustment, brought on by major changes in the standard of living. If it ain't bad enough, nothing substantial will change. As to when, who the hell knows.
We just HAD a depression as bad as the 30's, but the Dems got in FAST...still cost about 5 TRILLION DOLLARS so Pubs could say it wasn't a problem. And Obama IS that change, and change the GD channel...

I think you don't give yourself as much credit as you should. Even on a small scale, we need leaders. If we dont have good leaders on a small scale we can never get one on the national level.
Look around and you may find more than you realize.

Please. We havent seen anything. You think people are suffering now, see what happens if Obama gets reelected.
If your think that money and success are ever going to provide you with meaning in your life - take a good look at Whitney Houston and think again!We, as well as our elected leaders, can argue till the moon finally leaves our orbit. Unfortunately we don't have that kind of time.
I had hoped that the Tea Party uprising would inspire critical thinking but as recent votes have shown it hasn't accomplished squat. We have an unfunded "tax holiday" that does nothing but rob the social security system for the sake of political expediency. The system is broken and all we've done is throw another spoke into the wheel.
I mention this, not to divide, but to show the disfunctionality of our elected leaders. The bipartisan opposition to this bill proves some are aware of the danger, alas they are the minority. So everyone gets an extra 40 bucks in their paychecks today only to fond their retirement 40 years from now nonexistent.
That's just an example. Imagine that shortsightedness 100 fold and you get an idea of how our current leaders are functioning.
When does it end? When do we wake up? When does DC realize America doesn't give a fuck about left or right but rather the stability of their lives and the lives of their children?
Our system has become so corrupted by money. And I'm not talking about just big corporate money but rather all of it. What can we do? What will it take?

People have been sold a "bill of goods" about prosperty, success and the "American dream." Even the small minority that achieve it are basically no happier than the rest of us - and probably a lot less.
Happiness and contentment come from within - if you're depending on some outside source then you're setting yourself up for a lifetime of disappointment.
