However, I am more hesitant to question the legitimacy of the use of the word crisis. Certainly, I am not in crisis. But I'm not going to deny the reality of the crisis for the families out there who are on a waiting list for shelter that is 100s of people long. Some school districts have experienced a 20% increase in the number of homeless students. Food pantry usage has grown by 40%. I still have the privilege of sleeping in a heated, safe space and entering safeco store knowing I'm not going to be escorted out. Crisis for me no? But, then again, I am one of the lucky ones.

I know things aren't as amazing as they have been for the past decade or so but hearing people compare our financial straits to the great depression just makes me cringe. I wish we could put things in better perspective as a nation, and calm down everytime a tribulation finds us.Ricks terrible bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06463980901957552510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12561574.post-75853258505270364502009-02-21T23:33:00.000-08:002009-02-21T23:33:00.000-08:00I couldn't agree more with your "reality check."
