    My predictions for the next 4 years:

    #1. The Citizens United decision makes a massive difference in the 2014 mid term elections.

    #2. Our civil liberties continue to decrease as corporations continue to have a larger control over our life.

    #3. Gas prices continue to rise.

    #4. Thumbs dies alone in a boarding house spare room after some young hippie steals his dialysis thinking it is some new age drug.

    1) Rockets win championship.

    2) Karl Malone mysteriously dies on a hunting safari with Karl Rove.

    4) Fallout 4 is released and set in Boston

    5) Republicans double down on the derpy

    Sad to see this country going so far away from what it once was. And people want more of the same.

    The future will prove you crazy. Are you seriously wholly unaware of how completely unhinged you sound right now?

    Hey guys, he is just kidding right? I mean no one can be this damn paranoid, right? Seriously, it's scary to see what goes on in some people's minds. Thumbs, please get a grip on reality bro, this just isn't healthy.

    No one knows the future. I mentioned the "distribution" aspect only because Buck asked. Now, thad may be optimistic about the future and I could accuse him of being unhinged for doing so. I will not because I cannot. I don't know him or his future.

    However, what I can look at are trends and past performance/speeches by Obama and his posse. That is why I am so pessimistic about our future. Again, I hope I am wrong ... but at this point I don't think so.

    Except nothing in Obama's speeches, proposals, or performances have in anyway indicated the future you tried to predict.

    One doesn't try to predict. One predicts or one doesn't. The same is true for pregnancy. Either a woman is or isn't. Predictions may be accurate or inaccurate but a prediction is.

    But, for clarification's sake, I look at Obama's actions/decisions/speeches on issues ranging from Benghazi to Fast and Furious, from the Keystone pipeline to inhibiting offshore and frac oil drilling, from funneling half a billion dollars to his crony campaign bundlers who are then allowed to declare bankruptcy without penalty to setting records on playing to providing Obamacare exceptions to unions and other buds, from...geez the list is almost endless.

    Anyway, for what it is worth, I am out of politics. Let America reap the rewards or punishment for its leadership decision.

    I always thought you were more rational than this, but now I understand why you are a tea party member.

    Surely those actions will cause people to look for dogs as food because of the food shortage.

    Please learn to read what is written rather than what you want a message to say. Come to think of it, quite a few of your colleagues do the same. Reading objectively apparently is a lost art on this board.

    You are saying what Obama is doing will eventually cause the country to get to those stages. We have had over two hundred years and over fifty presidents, some were better and some were worse than Obama, but none of them caused the country to get to the that stage. You are not living in reality anymore.
