I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

De Gubberment Says You All's Prices Have Lowered

So, the government reports that retail prices fell 0.1% last month. Anybody notice that at all? I sure didn't. I've always wondered what those people actually buy. 'Cause my cost at the register has gone up 3-8% the past four years (excluding gas prices) when they say it's only been 2 or 2.5%.

Nope, I haven't seen any prices come down. Every time I look, they're up. Gubberment speak with forked tongue.:)

Maybe prices went down on drive-through junk food and plastic toys or something...things my family hasn't bought in a long time, anyway. Everything we buy has become MORE expensive. Especially the crack.

I certainly think it was for things that normal people don't buy.

Greeny, most certainly the Crack has gotten expensive. The meth, though, is still cheap as free kittens.
