In The Final Year of Our World 2012: America Won't Survive
It's kind of fucked up. 2011 flew by. I don't remember a whole bunch of great events. There were problems being compounded, on that we can agree. I guess if you were into protesting or rioting or some combination thereof this was your year.
09 was pretty terrible for a lot of people, because they had realized 08 was really just the beginning. Whenever my parents complained about the 1980s and Reagan I thought, "man I'll never have a point of reference for something that bleak".
Well, here we are. In the final days of 09 I remember praying it wouldn't be as bad in 2010 and wouldn't you know it America kinda does its thing. Saw some dudes sleeping under a bridge a few weeks ago. I thought, holy shit my fingertips feel like shit in this cold. They got nothing. Man, it's gonna be weird as hell seeing that en masse! Here's to the continuance of the new normal, and that the events of that John Cusack movie don't come to pass! Get your foodstamps, it's gonna be cold as fuck.
I fear for the radical change of society as I know it, but on the plus side, that means I don't fear as much that my life will be a failure according to current norms
I'm still young and naive enough to have an optimistic view on the world
Fingers crossed for 2013!
i'm 23, a font of hope and i have a girlfriend after a huge dryspell and i'm here to tell you i'm gonna die and you're gonna die and the lord will flood the cities and there won't even be microbes capable of breaking down our corpses
I'm scared that 2012 will be the year America finally becomes a full fledged police state. What with how fucked up that NDAA bill was, and how easily it passed.

That's like a can of beer
That's not a lot of beer
If it's a tallboy that's even less (Tallboys are better because I have to pound less of them to get drunk and I forget how much I hate beer that much quicker)

I hope for your sake that you don't actually believe this.

I have to survive to 21 to become disillusioned with the world!
It passed the senate and is now in the hands of the man who claimed he would Veto it.
Until he requested that changes me made....which shakes my faith he will veto it.
The sheer fact that SOPA and NDAA was on the floor and actually have more chances for success than not is an eye-opener to the status of this country. Not the Government, but the people. We are sitting on our Internets, donating maybe, even go out and protesting - but all in all, were just kinda fucked.

2012 is gonna be a wild ride.
NDAA is gonna be signed
SOPA is iffier because there's a better chance it won't even get through Congress

I'm basically hoping for the apocalypse just so we can get it over with
Gonna pass out drunk as the earth dies
How you gonna get drunk off of fourteen ounces of beer

Fourteen ounces of beer isn't a lot of beer though
Fingers crossed for 2013!

It passed with original language intact.
