I'd feel gratified if I had actually faced up to an illusion but there is more than ample evidence of what I speak, so it's reality. It's what's going on in the world right now. Now if you want to congratulate me for facing reality, I'll take that. > Unfortunately you are completely engrossed and entrenched in the > financial mechanisms of life. I may be engrossed in them but I'm far from entrenched in them. I've never actually been involved in any of the financial events I speak of. It is that detachment and living as I do which allows me the freedom of objectivity. I have nothing to do with the trees so I'm able to see the forest quite clearly I think. I've no vested interests in the economy or the free market or capitalism, so I can look at them free of any bias. And I do see the entire world benefiting from the wealth that's being created. > You sound like the forlorn gambler who > is trying to explain to his starving family that things are going to > get better as soon as he starts to get into the chips again and that > their woe is only a temporary thing based upon his bad financial > decisions. You need to get real amigo! If that's what I sound like, it's been picked up by assimilation from my father. He was beyond forlorn. He was degenerate. But myself, I'm not a gambler. Well, I mean, I am a gambler but not with money or wealth. I gamble with more personal things like truth and reality. > I tell you this..........We plant seeds food grows, we harvest we > eat.

I can't deny this has happened but less so today then in the past. There are countless organizations around the globe that are donating their time and resources to education, mental and physical health, teaching people to start businesses and become self-sufficient, we are raising people up. > Heads need to roll > and in another 50 years they will roll because civilization will one > day wake up and rebel.

The last time an uprising of the proletariat on the scale you indicated happened was in Czarist Russia but those people took a lot of crap for a long long time before they finally exploded in revolution. But just because something has happened in the past does not mean it has to happen again. Events only repeat if we do not learn from them. Paraphrasing Santayana, until people learn their history they are doomed to repeat it. I think we've learned some valuable lessons over the past hundred years.
