And there isn't a thing we can do about it. Prepare, and Pray!!
<not directed to anyone in particular>
There are things that could be done, but so many people here (as well as everywhere else for that matter) waited like the sheep that they scoff at to jump into action.
I have said so many times that the eleventh hour was not the time to get the "Ron Paul revolution" started, let alone the crying that he won't be on the Republican ticket.
It makes so much sense in your own heads that you don't see why the rest of the people don't climb on board.
People are not like that, my friends. People resist change. People want to be led down an easy path. Maybe not you in particular, but there are a lot of them out there. More than you think.
Again, if the constitutionalist-libertarian stance is your thing than GET STARTED NOW FOR THE NEXT ELECTION.
If you think its to late, than stop complaining about Obama, Hillary, and McCain, and start stocking up on food, and other necessities.
If you think you can salvage something out of this election than vote.
And if voting your conscious in the light of futility is your thing, be my guest. As far as I'm concerned, I know my conscious better than anyone, and my vote is just a tool. Sometimes its an 8 point socket, and sometimes its vice grips. It may not be the best for the job, but its the best I have right now.
Sorry, the flu has got me cranky.
