    This reminds me of a sign I saw...

    I think this is so remote its laughable.

    I am more worried about an extensive future of the 1970's on steriods or an Argentina 2001, or Venezuela.

    High Corruption, High Taxes, High Inflation, High Unemployment, High Poverty, Low Prospects, Oppressive Government reducing basic liberties and forcing Socialist policies.


    Any Suggestions

    Another ET gem amid the drivel; someone who can think beyond immediate gratification/dissatisfaction.

    Be aware that every generation has believed the end of the world is near. Psychologically it helps add meaning to the lives of those who can only find meaning in manufactured drama and self-importance.

    It's not about the end of the world, Its about living in the USA. Going to bed and waking up and living in Venezuela. There is no mad max in caracas, people go to school, they work, go clubbing. But if your an American and in 5 years time your Country looks like Venezuela in policies and economics, then that is a sucky situation, and it is a point of no return.

    Life goes on but its like living in the nicest house in the neighborhood and your kids inherit a rat trap dump, with crumbling walls.

  8. Why can you rule this out? Sometimes I think everyone is just a Travis the Chimp waiting to go nuts when everything changes.

  9. Relax guys

    This is what is going to happen. Dollar will lose value slowly, inflation rise slowly, we will get poorer slowly

    So at the end our houses will get smaller, cars getting smaller and no more SUVS, clothing gets cheaper and lower quality, food will be more expensive and lower quality.

    But no mad max and no zombies on the streets, it is just getting back to normal.

  10. Another fan of Alex Jones, I see. He's wrong about some stuff, but I can't wait to see his new film -- The Obama Deception.
