I have been mulling this over regularly, as signs of it pop up more and more. 2016 is going to be a wild ride. Government regulation is forming a head about to explode. As I type this, we have a siege on a Federal facility in Oregon. Our borders have remained wide open while we've been fighting a long war on "terrorism". (Is this our longest war ever?) The Chief is spending his last year in office. The tv coverage of Time Square on New Years interviewed adults who were bragging about wearing diapers. The GOP is in disarray, essentially leaving a 1-party system. My buddies are all having to register their little model airplanes(!?) or face a $25K fine. I have to pat my tummy, rub my head, and do a naked cartwheel to buy a gun. This week, they will start turning children back as they return to public schools, then notifying the CPS that the kids are truant, at risk, and should be taken away.

I've been watching all this developing over the past couple years and thinking to myself, "What the hell is going on?" I do have a few close friends who see it too. We often huddle at the playground while our kids play and we discuss this stuff in hush tones, hoping to not be overheard...haha...

I'm a little tongue-in-cheek here, but not much. I certainly feel a quickening now - toward what, I'm really not sure. But, it's not more freedom. I couldn't help but think this is being reflected in the markets this morning, too...
