No Treason

These people are totally loathsome and disgusting. These arrogant fools are going to drag the entire world kicking and screaming into a global depression. They are going to condemn people to starvation and violence.

I am so totally sick of politicians and the sheeple who vote for them. I wish when it came time to pay the bills, it was people who voted for it who would have to suffer the consequences. But instead, everyone in the world is going to be made poorer now.

Mad enough to spit. Dry mouth be damned.

My great grandparents came to Canada from Eastern Europe after WWI. Sadly, both have passed on, my grandfather a couple decades ago, and my grandmother not much later. These were simple people, not too religious, unpretentious, barely political, and always looking to enjoy life in it’s simplest forms.

I remember their story-telling vaguely from my youth. They loved to talk about the railroad, or how they worked the land to make their farm. Recently, I wrote to my mother, lamenting that they were no longer with us to share their insights from the Great Depression. This is what she replied back with,

I remember Grandma saying that during the Depression, you could never get three things together – meat, potatoes and bread. Also, Grandpa said it was sometimes months before you saw an actual dollar bill. I imagine a lot of barter and trading was going on, eliminating cash. It can toughen people up.

This is exactly the sort of anecdotal expression I miss from them. I hope everyone takes the time to talk to their parents and grandparents about WWII, the 70s, Vietnam, The New Deal, etc.
