    Re: This is the nation's debt

    I was looking for a good one earlier because of the conversation in another thread.

    This one takes the cake. Whats crazy is that no man, his direction or the people around him will ever be responsible for responsibly eliminating that amount of debt. Its going to need to be wiped out some how and started over....

    Cool couch lol... man that is beyond ridiculous money. Imagine how much hunger, education, hospitals and research and just so much for good could've been done instead of wasted on bs.

    Anything is possible, EJ. If will and desire and a common commitment to carry out a task can get enough momentum behind it, nearly anything on this earth is possible. It's not like we're talking about traveling back in time, we just need a few generations of good folks to get behind something, and see it through to conclusion. Even if there are roadbumps, stay the course and things can be done. After all... humans (if only for the time being) still have time on their side. And we're only talking about money here. (The incredible inequity in how that wealth is distributed of course, is a whole 'nother Oprah.)

    Heaven forbid we don't turn our global "footprint" on the planet back in the right direction at somepoint in the next century or so. Economic crisis will pale in comparison to a catastrophe involving environment issues.

    But to your point, you're right... It will take more than "a man" to get it done. Not sure if rebooting the debt is the rational move just yet.

    I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

    Oh yeah! Almost forgot...! That representation is mind boggling to see. Hundos just aren't what they used to be!
