well said ..... "There is nowhere to run, and there is nowhere to hide, only odd methods to get hurt, and different ways to die." I notice that you tend to get poetic when things are going tough. This is a particularly good one. Maybe your real future is in Literature.... Cheers

Jay, what we are witnessing is good. <The pilgrimage to reality has perhaps started. Cleansing, rapture, and revelation straight ahead, to be followed by quiet contemplation, reflective learning, and getting back to basics, no doubt. We must try to choose the lesser of the uglies, survive, so as to fight another day. The next battle field? A strange new economy; the inflation of everything we need, and the deflation of everything we have. > It is the process leading to the abandonment of fiat currencies and Aztec MADness in favour of a sensible exchange of value and store of it, the Q cybermoney in which people will click a swap with somebody and their shares will hop the fence. The fiat currencies were fine for the days of Empire and Big Government run by kleptocratic edict on Kremlin order. The process will take a long time. Of course there will be mobs surging in all directions, from heading for the hills, where they will find no protection, to hiding in a Fort Knox bunker, where they will be equally vulnerable. There is no hiding from history, which is underway and moving with the momentum of 6 billion people propelled by their internal drives for peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun and love and armed with the amazing CDMA2000 phragmented photon light sabre. The zero-sum Aztec game in which competitors struggle for a piece of territory, kleptocratic power and the old chimpoid values of the alpha male dominance hierarchy, is writhing in its death throes, though it still has plenty of life and will destroy many before being subsumed. It's just the end of an era. The Luddites objected to the passing on an era and the arrival of a better one. Similarly, lots of people will lament the passing of the good old days of the 20th century and the arrival of It's Id. Too bad for them. It just is; zygote to zeitgeist. Mqurice
