mike - [[we are a misrepresentative democracy but after it crashes and burns people may listen to the gloom and doomers when they explain why this collapse was inevitable and vote for change. We are fortunate to have the internet as a forum to disseminate the truth. ]] That is the most unlikely expectation that I've seen in this century. -g- In times of stress, people will respond to the best (worst)demagogue who promises to have government fix the problem. Just look at the demand for oil price reduction. The correct predictors of disaster are usually hung after their predictions come true. -g- Regards, Don

Mike, My guess is that anyone that tries to explain the truth will be classified as an extremist. If you can't attack the message you must attack the messenger. As soon as corporate greed, Wall St., the Fed, and the cast of characters that are leading us down this path start getting attacked, they will lie, cheat, spin, attack back, and do anything to save their position so they can pillage the next generation. You should expect only minor changes unless it gets so bad that a "loon" gets elected. Wayne
