I have recently been searching for information about the current economic and social situation in the USA. Whenever one wants to use the internet to find information about one thing the usual result is finding more about everything else. This is especially true when trying read material which might help figuring a course of action in today's turbulent world.
I have traced a path through communist, liberal, conservative, and financial blogs. From left to right the mood is pessimistic. The sky is falling seems to be the common thread. On the left the rate of decline of the US is not fast enough; on the right the country is failing too quickly. Everything from deflation, hyperinflation, banksters, foreclosure fraud. There is too much government or there is not enough government, what ever the reason the correspondents all have one thing in common; their view is orthodox and dissenting views are not allowed.
For the weak minded it is easy to be overwhelmed, put off, put down; accusations of trolldom can be disheartening. The key to success among the blogs is to take the most extreme position and defend it at all costs. If you don't pick a side a parrot that point of view you will be very dissatisfied. Rant and rave as much as possible, threaten people with death in the cruelest way possible then you will be taken seriously by one side and despied but needed by the other.
Any attempt at middle ground will be confusing and not appreciated. Keep at it and good luck
