SINCE THE YEAR 2000 THE FOLLOWING THINGS HAVE HAPPENED:
1. FOOD PRICES HAVE INCREASED
2. HEALTHCARE PRICES HAVE INCREASED
3. GASOLINE PRICES HAVE INCREASED
4. HOME HEATING PRICES HAVE INCREASED
5. PERSONAL ANXIETY LEVELS HAVE INCREASED
6. HOME FORECLOSURE NUMBERS HAVE INCREASED
7. OUR MANUFACTURING JOB LOSS HAS INCREASED
8. OUR AVERAGE INCOME HAS DECREASED
9. OUR INTERNATIONAL PRESITGE HAS DECREASED
10. OUR CURRENCY VALUE HAS DECREASED
11. OUR BROADCAST COMMERCIALS HAVE INCREASED IN LOUDNESS
12. OUR CITIZENS WITHOUT HEALTHCARE COVERAGE HAS INCREASED
AS INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE DIFFERENT THRESHOLDS OF PAIN BUT THE ABOVE THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN UNLESS THE POWERS-THAT-BE WANT THEM TO HAPPEN . SOME MAY NOT FEEL THE DIFFERENCE AND ARE ENJOYING THE PRESENT SITUATION BUT MOST OF OUR CITIZENS ARE IN A STATE OF TERROR AND ANXIETY 24/7 . THE CORPORATE MEDIA OBVIOUSLY ENJOYS THE PRESENT SITUATION OR MAYBE THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO TAKE OUR MINDS OFF THE PAIN BECAUSE THEY NEVER TALK ABOUT ANY OF THE ABOVE ITEMS TO ANY EXTENT .
