Imagine waking up from a 25 year coma

...and trying to comprehend the state of the world. You'd probably rather go back into a vegetative state.

The government fighting to give illegal aliens the same rights and privileges as legal citizens, then suing states for enforcing federal immigration law.

A DOJ responsible for selling guns to criminals and the eventual murder of a federal law enforcement agent.

A lying, scheming Attorney General faced with contempt of Congress.

The most fraudulent, incompetent and corrupt president in the history of our nation.

Liberals who want to control carbon dioxide emissions

A country held hostage by our oil producing enemies while doing nothing to tap into its own oil natural oil supply

Kool Aid stands shut down by police

Small children and the elderly being frisked at airports

A President who refuses to allow construction of a pipeline which would employ tens of thousands of people.

Yeah. These things would be at the top of my list. WTF...

Poor bitter Miles. Better hide under the bed until at least 2016. Make sure your wife gets enough Cheetos from Costco first, though.

Oops! I slept through a few wars.

Nice to see a Vietnam Memorial though.

How much to fill my gas tank?

The only people I have witnessed 'waking up' from a coma, are those who have been drug induced into a coma- on purpose.

Was miles in a coma in the early '80's?

Imagine waking up and having to read this thread. Coma, please

He's still in a coma.

I think I would be most shocked by the mainstreaming of The Gay Agenda and especially the public acceptance of it. I would never have predicted the tide to turn so fast on that. Maybe legislatively against the will of the majority, but never so many people seeing "nothing wrong with it."

Secondly, I would be shocked by all the tattoos. Sure, there were tattoos, but no where near like it is now and very few females had them. And on that note, what the hell happened to women's pubic hair? That would be a shocker. So many things that started to change in the 90s especially.

What happened to heavy metal (real heavy metal, not this extreme metal crap), and when did hip hop become the most popular form of music and what the hell happened to rock? When did most young people become Democrats? When did white people disappear from California?

Not to mention what is this Internet and what is a Smart phone and what is Starbucks, etc.

I've known people, one that woke up on his own. He had an almost completely different personality. Was quite odd.

After 25 years, the thing that would surprise me most is being informed the Red Sox had won not just one, but two, World Series.

Some good, a lot of bad. And the state of TV would make me want to hurl. Reality TV sucks ass, and not in a good way.

Of course, I was ten in 1987, so....I wouldn't have as much of a frame of reference as others, and I didn't have actually have TV back then, so that would be less of a factor than if I went into a coma in 1997.

Spelling these days would have me want to facepalm, though.

And I don't care how hot you are, if you plan to grope me at the airport, I'm gonna sue your ass. Consider yourself served. Not that I mind being groped....it's just that you think that you can order me to do it.

The government is run by a cabal of mega-corporations whom seek to subvert our liberties in order to maximize their profits.

Innocent and ordinary law-abiding citizens are being treated as potential terrorists and are constantly being surveilled by an increasingly omnipresent Orwellian national security apparatus.

Government enacting stringent limitations on free speech.

Greed, corruption, and cronyism run rampant and unrestrained throughout.

4th constitutional amendment is no longer viable.

National news media constantly lies through their teeth day in and day out.

Various corporations and industries profiting trillions off of an endless state of war and military occupation of Arab nations.

The United States is quickly disintegrating into a full-blown police state.

I added some things.
