My wife asked me if I loved her. I answered YES. 4 days later she announced that she was in love with a woman, I was out, the other woman was in. We had been married for 20 years. Such is life.
I am not the harbinger of doom. I see the world as it is and often write in what may seem to be a negative view. I do however, see the human race as being at a cross roads in our short time on this planet. I do not see religion, colour, ethnicity nor race, I only see homo-sapiens; us.
If you hosted a house party and within an hour, guests were shooting, beating, murdering each other. What would you do ? The world is now attending that party. Who do you call ? The Marines, the United Nations, the Taliban, the Congo war lords....? We have a problem here that is not impossible to solve....communication is the answer, yet it may take another few millions lives for us to "Get it".
I know what you're going through, and it hurts so much. It may seem at this point that there's no tomorrow, but you are doing the right thing by expressing yourself on an open forum. I don't know you, but I feel your pain as so many here do. Rest your head on our shoulders for a moment, we care.

Robbie, I know how it feels. I moved from the West coast to Ontario to be close to my younger daughter. I would have moved to Alfa Centauri to be close to her.
A little acidic but other than that, quite good. I'd recommend using it as the second bottle to be opened. Open a Wolf Blass first, after that you're taste buds won't know the difference.
A $7.00 (Canadian) bottle of Shiraz/Malbec, from Argentina, and it's actually drinkable. FuZion is the name. Big deal you may say ? Yes. To me it's like gas for .25 cents a litre, or a $10.00 phone bill. Maybe Globalization does have its benefits.
Now if some country can come up with the equivalent in a car, or PC. A brand new car for $ 4000.00, a PC for $150.00. A woman who loves zirconia diamonds.....NOT.
Never before in my life have I become so empty, dispassionate. Maybe it's age. Maybe it's just being bored and tired of this smoke and mirrors life that we live. The industrial revolution set the standards for the male existence; be strong, be the protector, be all things to society....even if it kills you, and it is killing us. Why do men die 8 years before their spouse ? Why do men go on a killing spree ?
I do believe that this economic crisis is the "Brick Wall", that we have been heading for since England sparked the mechanisn of cottage industry.
Bail out the banks, General Motors, where is this money coming from ? If people can't afford a new car, or get credit....think about it. It is the "End Times".
He threw his hat into the ring to become President, but that was before the world wide melt down. He has now taken on an impossible job. I hope that whatever he decides is not judged....he became captain of a sinking ship.
