O. J.'s Expression

It seems so many people are sporting the same expression O.J. had as the judge read his sentence. Now, I don't think everyone is looking at jail time, but it's more that expression of "this can't be happening" and "this isn't looking good." I have found this expression transcends most economic levels and social stratus and appears to simply be the expression of a bleak and dismal future. Of course the republicans are already pointing out what is going wrong now that Obama has been elected. I've had to gently remind several people, that he's not actually in office making any of these dismal decisions . . . yet! And then there are the democrats that are already sensing his backtracking and they aren't so sure this is the change they voted for. Then there is everything from Wall Street to Mutual Funds to 401Ks to CDs and Money Markets, all losing value, virtually daily. I heard that the government was recommending treasury bonds for safe investments. Really??? I suppose the government would want investors in government bonds, as the printing press at the mint is cranking out Franklins and IOUs faster than any of us can blink!
It seems, and I am not minimizing the prospect of prison, but the truth is, O.J. has a more secure future than many Americans. There are advocacy groups and legal watch dogs that prevent him from going hungry or being out in the cold, while in prison. So many people that have worked and saved are now facing the possibilities of a very bleak and uncertain future. Where do we invest? Where is the bottom of this mess? Why is our nation bailing out the rich companies and leaving the former middle class to go unemployed and homeless? Why is it, that here in America, O.J. Simpson, heading to prison, has more security in a roof over his head and 3 meals a day than many Americans?
For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. New Testament
