I'm glad I know how to garden, I just hope I don't lose my home because that's the only bit of earth I can scratch out some food on.

Woopee, the assholes of the country have won and we are HEADED FOR A DEPRESSION!

Thanks, John McCain. This is 100% YOUR FAULT!!!

3. During the Depression, Glass was prized

Drinking glasses were placed into boxes of laundry detergent in order to get people to buy the soap.
