Business is booming for Dallas-Fort Worth bomb shelter company

FORNEY — Shortly after graduating from college, Walton McCarthy went to a party where he overheard a disturbing conversation between a child and her mother.

"The little girl said, "Mommy, if I grow up, can I be an architect and design things?" McCarthy recalled.

McCarthy wondered why the child had said if she grows up and assumed she was terminally ill. The mother later told him that they had a "euthanasia plan."

"If there was a nuclear exchange, they would euthanize themselves," McCarthy said. "It’s not something that people talk about now, but in 1978 . . . It really, really scared me. I started doing some homework and one thing led to another."

2. Obama's Town Hall speech in France IS troublesome ...
Quote:
"As we take these steps, we also affirm that we must not erect new barriers to commerce; that trade wars have no victors. We can't give up on open markets, even as we work to ensure that trade is both free and fair. We cannot forget how many millions that trade has lifted out of poverty and into the middle class. We can't forget that part of the freedom that our nations stood for throughout the Cold War was the opportunity that comes from free enterprise and individual liberty.
I know it can be tempting to turn inward, and I understand how many people and nations have been left behind by the global economy. And that's why the United States is leading an effort to reach out to people around the world who are suffering, to provide them immediate assistance and to extend support for food security that will help them lift themselves out of poverty."
===============================================================================================
How "nice". We'll continue to outsource jobs to bring those OVERSEAS out of poverty, while the middle-class in AMERCA goes down the tubes INTO POVERTY?
Great!
I know people who've been looking for work for SIX months. And NOT the "low-paying factory" work that Obama has ridiculed.
When are we going to start taking care of ourselves? When our we going to accept the reality that the global economy has bankrupted the American middle-class and destroyed opportunities for our future generations?
