I had a thought the other day...could it be that our economy is dying because God will not bless our nation as long as we continue down the same-sex marriage road? Massachusetts allowed them beginning in 2004 and here we are. I am not a homo-phobe. I know several gays and they are all likable people. I am kin to at least three. But I also read the Bible. Anyone else want to weigh in on this?

I thought He would punish us for the child molesters, rapist, thugs, sleazy politicians, wars, not loving our fellow man, dope dealers, and other scum of the earth that always seem to get away with their crimes due to technicalities.

Ummmmmmmm, yeah... that's one possibility. Another possibility is that our government spent the last 8 years focused on issues that are not that important to the health of our nation, like abortion, gay marriage and stem cell research and let the economy go to pot.

Just throwin out another scenario. But, yeah, you're probably right... it's the GAYS!
That sort of thing is likely not the cause, but rather is symptomatic of the cause.

This country has become so fragmented and Balkanized that we don't even have the sense of "country" anymore. We are so wed to our microscopic special interests that it seems we are a loosely knit gaggle of people residing in one general geographic area. When our country was strong, we were united by things like a common language, a common culture, and shared dreams. Now we've become splintered; divided and cross-cut among so many mutually exclusive political, sexual, ethnic, racial, and economic lines that we may never coalesce into a community again.

One of the principal products of community is trust. Economy is predicated upon trust; we've taken that trust and replaced it with regulation and special interest. The way we use economics now is similar to using a chainsaw to drive nails.

What's really strange is that we've split ourselves up, and are now trying to force-fit the pieces back into something that's oddly Dali-esque. And the people who are driving that forcing function simply aren't up to the task.

You can blame the gays all you want. I'd suggest you blame the people who are clamoring for you to blame the gays.

Maybe our economy is dying because God will not bles our nation because we have been stupid.
We elected an idiot to lead our country twice.

Our economy is going to hell in a handbasket because of poor management, I doubt gays have much to do with it.
