But he didn't come up with the solution - Tradable Citizenship. It is fascinating that people are unable to see their relationship with their state for what it is. Actual slaves owned by individual property owners, and serfs of a bygone era, were similarly accepting of "Well, that's just how things are". They probably agreed with the way things were run, and were simply disappointed that their lot in life was as the slave, serf, or in modern times, state chattels. Regarding the proposed collapse of the USA, it's pretty much a done deal. By that I mean it has already been done in that the US$ is now half what it was versus much of the world. When people get a pay cut down to half what they had, that's a hefty pay cut. Americans will stay home. They won't go on their annual holidays to The Riviera or Paris. A jaunt to NZ or Oz will be out of their league. Mark Steyn jewishworldreview.com People are ditching the car and buying the iPhone/Android. It's a vast paradigm shift. The car as a cultural icon has had its day. youtube.com It's an advertisement. Note that "the problem" is not really a problem. People LIKE their mobile Cyberspace. They liked their cars too. They just didn't want to be in a traffic jam. Microsoft is not saying "don't use Cyberspace", they are saying there is an even better Cyberspace available; go deeper into the paradigm shift. Shift happens. Major paradigm shift happens. Mqurice

C2, quarter of the way towards 31 Dec 2012 sooth. Gold currently is tracking well at $1,646 ish. Only a few months to go now. Mobile Cyberspace continues to go berserk. QCOM surged in accordance. That was an interesting post you linked: marketoracle.co.uk <The average hard working, taxpaying American has been enslaved in debt of such proportions that they will never be able pay it off. Your share of the $15.6 trillion National Debt is now $50,000, and growing by $4,500 per year. Your share of the future unfunded liabilities, created by the people you elected, is approximately $350,000. This crushing burden is in addition to the $13.8 trillion of mortgage, credit card, student loan, and auto loan debt Americans have accumulated in the last three decades of delusion. Forty percent of all credit card users do not pay-off their credit card every month and carry an average balance of $16,000 at an average interest rate of 15%. Good to see the Wall Street banks passing along some of their 0% borrowing windfall to their “customers”. > Americans are not actually enslaved by debt. At any time they like, they can vote to repudiate their currency. My lifetime experience is that they will do so. Saddam laid a large debt to Russia on the heads of Iraqis, but though the Russians whined like a fleet of Koreans [the old CDMA royalty whine], the Iraqis repudiated the debt anyway, quite sensibly. It seems absurd that rulers and their creditors think they can impose debt on other people; especially when the debt is used to load said people with totalitarian rule. If Americans vote to use Mq's swanky new money, then there's nothing anyone can do to stop them. They are buying CDMA flat out, so they are voting with their wallets in tens of millions. Chinese are voting along with them. As are Angolans who hook up to ElM's new fibre via CDMA powered Cyberspace. Meanwhile, I actually sold some QCOM at $74.76 [or so], turned it into NZ$ and plan to turn that into a dairy factory to help turn CO2, sunlight, water, minerals, via cows, into humans. There is LOTS of CO2 thanks to fracking and other methane, oil, coal, tars being burned. Grass loves eating CO2, so the grass is rampant. With extra CO2, not so much irrigation is needed and dry weather is less burdensome to grass. ElM did say to go into producing real stuff. What Occupy Wall Street was really about was the public demand for the money to be given to them. They are envious of the Wall Streeters and 1%ers having the money and they think they have a democratic right to help themselves to the loot. They are right. They can have the equivalent of the French Revolution any time they like. They could then hire Napoleon to conduct MAD wars, just like France did. Anything that turns them on. Mqurice
