I have a few more sections to go but my overwhelming emotion is scared. After feeling inspired by the education section (i agree should be longer) I can't get the idea out of my head that if all our debts are called in we would be bankrupt and the society as a whole is too disjointed to work together to solve our mess. I have read some what i hope are some brighter moments in blogs towards the end of the book and hope I come out of this summer with a less heavy heart. While the authors maintain that our "americanism" is what was our downfall and can be our savior I feel as though it is exactly what is stopping us from being a united front. The haves vs. the have nots is and always will be two sides with far different interests. This separation in my mind is what will keep us from working together to fix our country and get us back on top. My optimism is fading and in its place I have this feeling that our country's empire is falling and most of us can see it. Whether or not ALL americans want to believe it or not.
What a way to start my week...i need a vacation from my vacation... I am depressing myself.
