African Sleeping Sickness

I have been sleeping 10 or 11 hours each night, which seems excessive. It's a colossal waste of time. I do it every year, though, when the nights get long. My body just figures that if it's dark, I should be asleep. When I am asleep, I am not exercising, or cleaning, or blogging, or educating my children. Just for the record, they sleep even longer than I do. Maybe it's a familial affliction.

I've been reading a lot. And thinking a fair amount. I have not been working. One of the downsides to the economic collapse is that people are losing their jobs, and therefore not needing daycare. I need to figure out a way to get paid for sleeping and reading.

I know a man who believes that Obama is the Antichrist. This man is packing up and moving to Ecuador, because he fears the one-world government. I find this 'logic' perplexing. If there is, in fact, a one world government, wouldn't you need to move to another world to escape? Why would Obama be the Antichrist? Are there large numbers of people who believe this to be a viable possibility? Maybe he's an alien, and he's here to take over this planet. Then he could set up an intergalactic government.

The elections are coming upon us rapidly. Won't it be fascinating to see what happens?

I mean, Obama could be the Antichrist, I guess. I believe that there will be an antichrist one day. The bible talks about the inevitability of that. I just don't see getting all worked up over it. It's going to happen one of these days, and God's got it all under control.

Personally, I think that lots of sleep is the answer. If everyone in the world was gettig enough rest, perhaps we'd be more amiable, and less likely to panic.
