The Unexpectedly Deep Fortune

"Discontent is the first step in the progress of a man or a nation"

- My fortune cookie from my Chinese food dinner this evening

So, that's not really a fortune. I've noticed that trend in the last several years. Nowadays they just tend to say any old thing. But, I really liked this one. I feel like they stole it from some history book...like its something someone in the Continental Congress said while deciding to break away from the British or something. Well, it is pretty well suited for these days as well. Let's hope that the discontent in this country finally gets high enough to get things onto a better road in this country...beginning with the next presidential election. Seriously, eventually, everyone...even the people who live in the middle of the country, have got to realize that things are f'd up.
