More relaxed? More relaxed? Perhaps Depressed might be a better description- unbelieveable

10. dunno about other Americans, but my attitude is red-shifting
as in, every time I think about the economy and *especially* about the gift-wrapped golden parachute package for the ultra-wealthy criminal class (some refer to this as the 700 billion dollar "rescue" package) I see RED. :grr:

Relaxed? Mot even close. Not as long as we're still looking at the possibility of a third Presidential election being stolen.

11. Stunned by the 'Shock and Awe $700bn bailout' of Bush and Paulson
...which after being negotiated and tightened on oversight and controls then passed by Congress, was then reversed by Bush and Paulson back to the unaccountable and bottomless feeding trough Paulson initially envisioned for his banking cronies. We need a New Bretton Woods Agreement and Treaty of Westphalia now before this bailout becomes a financial explosion on the American people.

16. Get a grip - oops, that requires muscle contraction, a non-relaxed state
Chill pills fix everything (oh really?) except the national debt, keeping one's job, home, grocery trips, insurance, healthcare, necessary utilities and electronics. (but at least you won't notice or care that your dreams will remain just that for a lot longer).
