How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

We need some protest songs:
Quote:
This house was made for walkin' ...
Quote:
Just a walkin' away ...
Quote:
Walk right out, set right down ...
Quote:
It hurts my soul
Cos I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cos I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...
I'm about to break
I guess I missed it
I'm addicted to your lure
And I'm feeling for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need...
I can make it
It's some state I'm in
Getting nothing everytime
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I say...
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away
Only thing I need to do is walk away
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from it
I need to walk away from it
Get away, walk away, walk away"
Quote:
They say time will
Make all this go away
But its time that has taken my tomorrows
And turned them into yesterdays
And once again that rising sun
Is dropping on down
And once again you my friend
Are nowhere to be found
And its so hard to do
And so easy to say
But sometimes
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Walk away
And head for the door
You just walk away
Walk away
Quote:
Should you stay or should you go
Well, if you don't have the answer
Why you still standing here
Hey,
Just walk away
Quote:
So walk away
And close the door
And let my life be as it was before
And I'll never never know
Just how I let you go
But there's nothing left to say
Just walk away

Now, don't give me any moral argument about the moral obligation to repay one's debts, those morals went right out the window with the morality of the banks issuing "liar loans" and issuing credit cards to frickin college students without jobs blah blah blah.
Right! Except that moral obligation vanished when a rump Congress passed the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 on the sneak, while their fellows were observing the holidays with friends and family. Nobody has any moral obligation to repay the Federal Reserve banks what they cheated from us to begin with. You pay only to avoid the harm that the corrupt government would inflict on you if you don't.
If the government ever stops being traitor to us, or if it were to die, or become ineffective, then perhaps the tables could be turned. In moral fact, the Fed owes us every cent it has gotten with its scheming, predatory cheaters' game of causing booms (watch the Americans work so hard to create wealth) and busts (foreclose, seize, repossess all the wealth).
The bankers certainly do not deserve the wealth we have created because they have provided us with no real recompense; they merely stole from us the possibility of having a debt-free, interest-free, government issued, commodity backed currency. We might have had it, if the Fed's bankers not conspired to take it from us by stealth. They deserve more than expropriation. I'd say that the death penalty is not sufficiently severe, inasmuch as they are spoiling whole nations and ruining millions of people.

There is no morality out there anymore, only greed and everyone doing what's in their own best interest. Everyone is paying for that now.
Right! And what did Ayn Rand have in common with both Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke?
