I believe no matter who wins the next presidential election, there will be an assassination attempt by 2014...
I don't think our economy will truly ever recover, I think national politics is incredibly toxic and our Government is functionally defunct.
Culturally the gap between the 'haves' and the 'have nots' is honestly tremendous - not just in economic terms but in damn near every imaginable and measurable way. We are at a catastrophic point where enough of the population is far more functionally educated and advanced than others; or put another way - too much of our society literally depends on the hard work, ingenuity and efficiency of others.
Some lunatic is prolly going to snap Oswald style when trying to reconcile reality with the talking points of the status quo...
I am not optimistic about our future at all.

In the next couple of years there will either be a lot of changes made thru government action, or a lot of changes made thru violent actions.
Probably both actually.

There is going to be a rise is domestic terrorism. I won't be surprised by anything that happens.
We are in for some crazy times.

I dunno. I think there are a few people we could stand to lose.

Even if I dont agree with a politician I wouldnt want to see them assassinated, impeached perhaps or removed from office but not assassinated

as a teenager I though my kids would go through some kind of revolt... as ive gotten older ive watched that time line shorten.. I honestly believe in my life time we will have some form of open conflict in this country, I agree within 10 years something like an asasination will spark a major gun grab or an overt move by the goverment against a major religion and it will be all over but the crying...
I pray just about every night that Im wrong.
