I saw in today's paper, the latest AP-ISIOS Poll. When asked of Americans if they thought the country was one the right track or the wrong track, 65% said they thought it was on the wrong track.
My only question is: where in God's name have the other 35% been? Hiding under a rock? Living in a cave? Eyes glued to Fox News? On Mars? In a coma, perhaps? Perhaps some are too poor to have car, or tv, or cable, or a radio, or buy a newspaper, so they have no idea what's going on in this country. Course, one would think if someone were that poor, they'd already know the track the country was on. I guess for some people they need to lose everything to a hurricane and be left to fend for themselves or die by the Federal Government, or have their job specifically sent overseas, or have thier employer cut thier insuranc benefits, or perhaps they've not driven a car in the last month and had no need to fill the tank. Maybe some people are selfish and self centered enough so that as long as THEY are doing okay, the "country's" on the right track, irregardless of how their fellow citizens are doing.
