The Great Fall Collapse of 2008

This didn't happen overnight... the American public is as much to blame for what has happened as anyone. Since before 9/11, America has been afflicted with a disease called Affluenza. Those Christmases on the credit card... that's why we are where we're at. A constant living beyond our means, investing in toys we can't afford and that will be obsolete 6 months later.

One thing is clear. If this continues down the road this bus is headed, well, things will certainly be getting weird real soon. What's gonna happen when the local Burger King or CVS goes under? What happens if suddenly, there is a crazy run to all the banks to withdraw all the available cash? This is this generation's one true test. How does this apathetic, spoiled, and babied youth generation respond?

It's about goddamn time we had a project that we couldn't cheat on...or for that matter one that our parent's couldn't get our grade changed. This is REAL.
