ORIGINAL: pahunkboy Nobody really knows. In a way- I wish I wasnt here to find out. hunky, I don't feel that way at all. My parents were born smack dab in the middle of the great Depression. I feel it gave them character, and they are among two of the people, that I will always admire the most. I grew up and still listen to daddy talk about how he walked 3-4 miles each way to school. My mother lived in Virginia {which was very segregated}, and caught 3-4 buses to ride way across town and into Washington, D.C. to attend Dunbar High School {which was THE black academic High School in Washington D.C. before segragation}. Evenutally, my Grandmother and my mother moved into D.C. and lived in a room in a boarding house, which they shared so she could attend high school and go to college. *Note my mommy and my grandmother shared a room together {for years} so mommy could attend college. I could go on and on. Its called, overcoming odds, sacrifice and devotion. My parents were born in the Depression, to parents that were maybe 2 generations removed from slavery. I don't care if the dollar becomes worth 10 cents, and everything begins to fall, slide, crash and burn. The measure of a man and real character show when shit hits the fan. I have always said you really don't know a person, until you see how they handle adversity. Well we are going to be seeing what a whole hell of a lot of people are made of soon. Also, these indicators and predictions have been going on for at least 2 years. If people don't have a clue by now, they fucking don't want to know what could be coming. I am a tough bird, and I think you are too. We shall get through the coming Depression, come out on the other side, and tell the tales to the younger generations. My parents/grandparents survived the last Depression, and I sure the hell will survive this one. You say you don't want to see it? IF it is coming, I want to be around to see it. Era's end, new one's begin. Circle of Life/from the Lion King--> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8ZnCT14nRc&feature=related Circle of Life, hunky....you will make it! Let's start digging our bunkers!
