Long Time No Talk

Well its been a while since I last posted. Not much has changed. With each day that goes past the Rangers are looking to be fading out of play off contention, the Spartans have schocked the NCAA by making it to the finals and the Red Sox open up their season at home today, as long as the rain holds off.
On the lighter side of the news, the lowell devils lost on friday night against the portland pirates when the devils goaltender tryed to be a little too fancy. In a clearing attempt the goalie hit it off of his own player and into the net, giving the team from portand the 2-1 win.
The level of fear for the economy seems to be growing each and every day. Each day we hear of more job losses and more stories of homlessness. This recession has really started to take its toll on every one and I am hearing more and more friends not being sure if they can go to school next year because they cant afford it. Whoever said that the world doesnt revolved around money is clearly not paying attention. It seems the number one fear of americans is not being able to pay the bills. During this time we seem to look for people to blame, and instead of looking at the government, we should look at the crooked ceo's on wall street who are the most greedy individuals in the history of mankind. Not only should these people be forced to payback every cent they every stole, they should spend the rest of their lives rotting in prision cells, and even that would be too good for them. When these people stole money from average Americans, it wasnt just money, it was retirement, vacations, tuition, and doctors visits. The politicans in Washington need to stepup and make examples out of these people who took so much more than money from us, and make it clear that no one will get away with this type of behavior in the future.
Of course, all of this comes at a point where times arent good in this country anyway, with 2 wars being fought, natural disasters destroying entire areas of the country and mexican drug wars spilling onto our soil. What people need to realize is that there is no quick fix to this, its going to take time, and chances are things will get worse before they get better. I think the best we can do is to just hold on and wait it out.
