Cycles

Ummmm check out the front of Time magazine.... if your not scared yet, you will be. There is a picture from the Great Depression: men shivering in thin coats lined up at a soup kitchen. Is this where we're headed once again? Maybe by looking at history we can discover future. 70 years after our biggest economic plunge in history, we are entering one that rivals it, and soon may even surpass it in its magnitude. Is it a cycle? 70 years or so before the Great Depression, we were in a civil war, and then trying to reconstruct our country and its economy. See a pattern yet?
Now all we have to do is figure out how we got out of it before, how we got the cycle to keep rolling, how we came out stronger than ever from each trial. As our very wise teacher (<3) style="font-style: italic;">anything else?)
If your a sunny-side-up person like me, you can take a step back from the fear and realize that while hard times are coming, there is a whole new world waiting for us when we make it through.
