20. Thanks for kicking this one. I'm sad and upset, too. But now I'm crying, letting it out.

I am, in my own way, ruthlessly logical and given to analyzing relative strengths and history. And I feel wanting, and many other things these last few days as this has sunk in.

No wonder Klayman picked November 17th as the day of chaos in D.C. That's when the last SS checks will sent out with the default. And they will keep up the pain, hoping for several things.

One, Obama will compromise to save lives. Two, that if he does or does not, they will win, and he will be blamed. Three, that they will make such a killing off the disruption of the social fabric that the 2014 elections will be over before they begin, with mass disruption of people put out of their residences as the states will not be able to take care of them. Four, martial law.

Okay, I must stop because we need to be positive. But I'd rather talk about it here or in messages than in GD.

This is very serious to so many people I know on fixed incomes, living month to month. Some have posted their fears on a thread that is in the Greatest list right now.

Sorry again, should I edit or delete?
