Americans Do You Feel Safe?

As a fellow American i can say that I DO NOT feel safe on any level at this point and time. The job market is HORRIBLE here. I have a college degree and yet I am working at a restaurant as a waitress. Armed Robberies seem to be happening left and right. Literaly, they are hitting one store going to the next block and hitting another one. I live in Georgia in Lowndes County where the motto is "Come on vacation leave on probation" and yet the uprising of gangs and just common criminals are at an all time high. We are already strapped just to pay the light bill and phone bill. The entire country is headed straight for a depression. We have spent billions on a needless war it seems. I also think things are going to go haywire after the elections. It is going to get worse not better. I think that some people just dont know what to do, they have no money, no job, and have kids. It is scary. The days of letting your kids out to play in the neighborhood are long over, so many kidnappings and pediphiles lurking around. I just dont know.

Being careful is always a good idea. My brother in law is fixing up a house he is purchasing. While he was out someone broke in and stole all the copper pipe. Times are difficult. People are desperate. I will say I feel safer when hubby is home.

I don't think it's just the americans. I think the whole world is at risk. It's the greed of the ceo's of the world not lowering their bonus's. It's the banks wanting to not share the intrest rate cuts to the max. If the richest people in the world were to lower their incomes and put those savings back into the pockets of the little guys the whole of society would be a better place. Thanks for letting me rant. And if your in the U.S I have ways of makeing a bit o extra to help. Just let me know.

I feel fairly safe out here in the country as a matter of fact my a.c. is out and i am sitting here with all my doors and windows open and it is one a.m. On the finanicial front it would be pretty hard to feel safe when politicians are grinding us into the ground with their stupidity!

i think americans should take some precautionary measures about this issue to safeguard themselves from the effects of these economic recessions or financial crushes and credit crunch as well as this china milk scare issue...there is nothing you can do at all but to be prepared what ever situation might come out from all these issues...of all the worse that will be affected are us..the common people who lives the day on the small portion on what we can afford for the day to survive...and having these problems this is another thing to brave again to live and survive...and what we can do is to prepare for the worse and pray that things will come right again ....and what you are doing is good cutting back expenses,saving food for sure,avoiding some credit cards uses, to be free anyway from all these headaches...
