You all like juicy posts.  But what is a juicy post?  Usually it seems to be based on my opinion about something so here goes.
 
The recession is going to get in your face wether you live in your own personal fantasy land or not.  Yet what are the signs of these times, I wonder?  Well it seems like we should need each other, to help each other, so that we would all benifit from unity.  But guees what?  The very opposite seems to be happening to some degree.  It seems that our selfishness takes away our compassion a bit.  The ice age is begining.
