>>>I really liked your response. But what do you think the chances are that this will happen? Personally, I am very pessimistic about the future of this country and believe that our economy will collapse in 18 to 36 months.

>>Good morning Marcia;

>>I am rather “optimistic” about our great nations future. I agree that our economy will collapse in 18 to 36 months, but the world economy will tank before that and we will still be on top! The rich will be richer and the poor will be poorer. Now that is the real America!

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie
Chorus:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

UPDQTE: A/V is always better than text. If there is ever a time capsule of our planet, after we have blown each other up or burned to a crisp, Woody Guthrie and this song will be in there right alongside Ronald Reagan. Now that will be an interesting conversation.
