You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

There were things in my personal life that made me far sadder than anything in the culture at large, and I would hope that for most people that's the case.

Overall, probably the moment the Dow dropped so steeply. Or maybe when gas went over $4 a gallon.

That is hard to pinpoint with Bush as our President.

Major economic fall (even though we were already spiraling down), but we took a huge hit this year.

The fact that Obama's #1 question on change.gov was: “Will you consider legalizing marijuana so that the government can regulate it, tax it, put age limits on it, and create millions of new jobs and create a billion dollar industry right here in the U.S.?”

And his answer was an absolute insult:
A: “President-elect Obama is not in favor of the legalization of marijuana.”

With absolutely no explanation why, and backtracking from his previous statements in the last 4 years, saying 'our war on drugs is a complete mess and its time to decriminalize 'marijuana.'

I'm not going to get too into it, but it really is a conspiracy against the hemp plant. Read tinyurl.com/1mn and tinyurl.com/potconviction and you'll see that 1. the drug war was a response to the racist federal government, a way to replace slave labor (which was outlawed after the civil war ended in 1865) with prison labor (which is why the US has the highest incarceration rate of any country in the world, MOSTLY minorities...13% of the US population is minority yet minorities make up 63% of inmates.) Alcohol is by far the most dangerous drug on the planet; it makes you a stumbling belligerent buffoon; all the illegal drugs make you think, and they don't throw your coordination in the toilet, among other things.

Really? The saddest thing this year was an unsatisying statement on the legalization of a recreational drug? Interesting priorities.

That was not the #1 question on change.gov. The #1 question was whether or not Obama would create an independent commission to investigate 911. The owners of change.gov did not like that question so they removed it.

I don't know if it's a sad moment but I feel more of anxiety by the economic downturn. Evrybody seems to be affected by it, not only here in the US but outside as well. We might have not seen the worst. Who knows. But this is surely one story that's to be remembered in the whole of 2008.
