I've lived through the Cuban missle crisis, the assassination of John Kennedy, the assassination of Robert Kennedy, the assassination of Martin Luther KIng, the Cold War, the "Jump the Shark" of Fonzi, the gas lines of the early 1970's, the Watergate crisis, the end of Gilligan's Island, hyper inflation, Jimmy Carter's "Malaise", race riots, hurricanes, earth quakes, 9/11, 2000 crash, 2008 crash, good grief, I can't go on, too many to mention.Yep, the economy survived, I'm still here, the world moved on ( except for walkmans now selling for $32,000) and nowhere was I promised a free ride or an easy life.As they say in "Men in Black" "Kay: "There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they do not know about it!"

Rioting while running for their free housing?

It's either that or rioting in the streets.
