Yes, i did "argue for a New World Order" to obtain the same types of objectives outlined in the writings of Ayn Rand. . For you to observe that the "greater evil" that has controlled aspects of mankind in areas like government, business, and economics has become a near "greatest evil" in fact, is very correct. . With the upfront acknowledgement that i contain near zero education and experience in areas of government, business, and economics, i will note my high respect for your thoughts and then point out that your ability to understand the methods and nature of how the masses will respond to the conditions that you have in depth and detail, written on, is lacking. . In general terms i want the same conditions as you and most all of those that post on this and Russ's precious metals thread, with the exception of religion and other focused topics that include items such as child rearing, birth control methods, wars, etc. . It is here that i see "a New World Order" as the outcome of what we now observe as current events that will need about 3 - 5 years to run its course before the New World Order becomes a fact. . Then the New World Order will collapse under its "greatest evil" weight. . Then and only then will planet Earth have the ability to redirect itself into a correct model for individual rights for all people, this with a proper law & order structure to fight crime and corruption. . But the just mentioned above may not happen, but if it does i see that it will be a troubled road taking over 100 years. . Yes, after any child born today dies of very old age. . doug |
