TJ, I believe there have even been a few disturbances about food prices and therefore food shortages, to some extent resulting from diversion of food to fuel for dirty great monstrous wastrel SUVs to roar around vast freeways. Do you think that 6 billion people, many of whom might get hungry, could cause any particular disturbance or would they generally remain pliant? I see in my previous post I was so psychically sickened by reading about the rack and the wheel that I confused my principals with my principles, which is not normally even a typo I make. Blood lust, hunger, anger, and other reptilian functions could easily cause disturbance to peace, light, harmony, happiness, health, prosperity, longevity, fun, and love. Peering into the future is problematic, but large debts and economic disruption are not normally signs of happiness to come. I imagine in 1908, the events of 1915 and 1945 seemed like events in 2015 and 2045 seem to us now. Surely we will still be carefully measuring minuscule variations in air temperature for Global Warming, and worrying about our body mass indexes. Maybe a spot of gold wouldn't go amiss. If I had a little stash of it buried, I doubt I'd be inclined to dig it up and convert it into NZ$, or even US$, or even GSAT. Maybe Zenbu, except that I already own that. I can't own more of it than I do [Tarken-san owning the rest]. Mqurice
