Are These the Dreaded Bad Times? (Obama, world, official, wars)

[andywire]

Throughout history, there are good times (usually associated with great triumph, general prosperity, etc,) and then there are bad times (usually associated with famine, hunger, prolonged periods of struggle, strife and conflict, etc). Would you say that we are officially living in "bad times"?

As bad times go, this is pretty mild.

I am doing fine as wine. Even with very bad Bush 2 and his failed wars and the even worse Obama i did the same james. Nothing has changed for me since 1999. It is gonna get much worse for many thanks to joe bro...

The bourgeois class always felt that way about inconveniences that did not greatly impact them.

Right now, although it could be a whole lot worse, there really isn't much to celebrate. I would say moderately bad times with half the nation pushing hard for disastrous times.

I don’t believe so, but it’s the first time I can see how the world could be convinced to take a chip, rather I can see it being possible.

To me, it feels like we are standing precariously on the edge, or perhaps we have stepped off into the void already.

Bad times would be if someone leaked a Sotomayor/Hillary sex tape.

Actually, that would skip right to End Times.

The late 60s were crazier.
