A Confidence Game

Some will say that dedication
    to an aging Declaration's
  a sure sign of a declining nation

  While others look and see
    a once-a-century opportunity
  
  Myself, all my surety's spent
    I look both ways ~ and pay the rent

My confidence is shattered When all the things I was taught as a child. No longer seem to matter.

Gershon so right you are. Sadly my confidence is dwindling as we move forward they spend more time talking about what is a man or a woman then they do fixing the homelessness problem, high fuel cost, medical insurance in America. We are in a sad state of affair my friend...

My confidence in our ability to only make matters worse is high. My confidence that we can fix this is not so good. John
