No you are right. I mean really bad though, like lining up at soup kitchens. Though you still might have a few talking on their cell phones as they stand in line for a bowl of soup.

Sadly, I could see that happening in my lifetime. We're not that far removed (year-wise) from being the world's b*tch.

We could use another depression to cull out the leaches and candy-asses that our nation seems to have plenty of now..........:coffee:

I look around at the huge homes, the shiny new cars in peoples driveways. I see all the people at the mall, and the lines at the grocery store. I know that not every corner of America is like this, but I just have to look around and wonder how it could be that bad. Sure, even I feel the pinch right now, but I have enough gratitude for what I do have not to cry about it. I compare what I have to what my own mother grew up with, and I know we are better off.

My parents were around for the depression. They would tell me all the stories when they were growing up and how hard they had it. I was always grateful for what we had and what I have now. If we get into another depression like that one, you won't have to wonder whether or not we're in a depression.

I grew up, not even that long ago, with no A/C, no cable, one rotary phone in the house, no computer, one TV. When I was finally like 12 years old nintendo came out and I got a 13 inch TV in my room so I could play my two nintendo games. O yeah that was also the year that my oldest sister went to college and I got to stop sharing rooms with my other sister. Wasn't that bad and the generations before me had it way worse so I felt lucky.

Not that many people feel that way today I am afraid.

You know how you'll be able to tell when people are struggling. Cell phones.... people well start giving up their cell phones.

I've heard about my mother living at the church when they were homeless. I've seen the tiny shack that my grandmother lived in when she was first married. I know that my great grandparents lived in the mountains of Pa in a shack with 13 kids.

I've lived a life of plenty. I know how spoiled we are. :yay:

Yep, my Mom still talks about how tough it was. If anyone thinks any country is immune to any hardship, just look back through history. It doesn't take much to turn things bad.
