What are you thinking about this current/coming financial crisis? Fear, excitement, renewed interest in eschatology? Personally, I'm seeing a number of these thoughts and feelings, but ultimately it seems a bit unreal. Anger too -- when I hear the presidential candidates planning to make things worse. My political frustration has become overwhelming to the point that I have to try to ignore it. Where I thought I was generally a fairly happy person, my paying attention to the Washington crooks has led me to a great deal of sadness, frustration, and anger -- mostly because I see how people like myself are being duped, and I believe they could "get it" if only they realized they were being duped.
So, with the politics of the matter aside, I start thinking about what this crisis might mean to myself and my family. In short, I don't know -- but I feel an uneasy and perhaps giddy anticipation that this could be the end of the world as we know it. Of course this thought is tempered by the realization that many people have thought this before and been wrong. But isn't it better to think it and be wrong than to not be prepared when the worst hits?
