Absolutely, very good point. There's the low, and the lowest of the low. We're all in the same boat with the "Jenga" style economic caste system we've all been bred into and continue to contribute to. If he wants to make a jump to the next echelon, my advice is probably the easiest way to do it. From a personal perspective, I don't find worth in money anymore. I've tried to extract myself from the ant race as much as I possibly could have.

All the while and partially because the unbacked U.S. Dollar slips further and further down in value.

The only hope we have here in the US is for a complete and dramatic shift in the way our government operates. We were designed and built on the precepts of the Constitution and Bill of Rights and that enabled us to flourish for almost 200 years. The concept, form an international perspective, was utterly revolutionary. We proved to the world over 7 generations that our system produced the greatest prosperity, security and quality of life.

Then the elite, the very group that our forefathers revolted against, began to work in this country to circumvent and dissassemble the Constitution so that they could advance their personal agendas and greed. They infiltrated the media, the government, business, education and especially banking in order to regain their hold on the assets of this country. Essentially, they just slowly bought-off our representatives and pushed them to pass legislation that advanced their agendas at our expense. And, out of ignorance and inaction, we let them do it.

I read posts on this board all the time glamourising 'guns-in-the-streets' and grizzly adams living off the grid. If we get to that it won't be nearly as glamorous and the outcome won't be some new, utopian country. There are alot of entities out there with a vested interest in seeing the United States cut-up and parted-out. We will be powerless to stop them for any sustainable period. There will be far too much suffereing, disaease and despair.

Our only chance and I sincerely mean our ONLY chance is to put a stop to this right now. This election. We have a chance to restore the Constitution and get this train back on-track. We need our representative government back. We need that government to adhere to the tenets of the Constitution and their oaths of office (...to support and defend the Constitution) which apparently are just a string of random words to most of our elected officials.

I urge everyone who cares, everyone who has any dream of a future to please, please look into Ron Paul and support him. He is the ONLY Constitutionalist and his record in Congress over ten terms is impeccable. He has never accepted donations from corporations and never supported any legislation that ran counter to the Constitution. Our only hope is to return to the principals that this country was designed to operate on and Ron Paul is the only candidate who has made that his mission and platform.

Despite the mainstream media's concerted effort to block and ignore Dr. Paul's campaign he has raised more money (and entirely from regular people like you and I) than some 'top tier' candidates. Also, he has gotten more contributions from the military than ANY other candidate. That has GOT to tell you something. I also urge people to support his candidacy on November 5th. The mission on that day (next Monday) is to raise more money in a single day than any other candidate in history in order to send a clear and unmistakable message to the mainstream media and the 'powers-that-be'. We can turn this around but we need to ACT. It doesn't matter what other candidate you support --- they've all been bought-and-paid-for by big business. Dr. Paul is the only one whose support is exclusively from individuals. And always has been.

For the record: I am not affiliated with Dr. Paul's organization in any way, shape or form. I'm not a grassroots activist. I've never been to one of his rallies or 'meet-ups'. My point of view comes from the breadth of perception that comes from advanced age. This is it people. The new revolution starts now or it will be too late for it to ever happen. Make no mistake about it.



For the record,

Interesting point. There were laws and policies in place prior to the '30s crash that allowed it to happen. Laws were subsequently put in place to prevent a recurrance. Then those laws, which were a hindrance to the greedy bankers, were removed during the Regan presidency. Obscene fortunes were made leading to the S&L collapse and now the sub-prime collapse. Arbitrage has run amok in this country.

We may have bounced back after the great depression but that didn't happen on its own. There are a great many similarities between the pre-collapse USSR and the USA today and they can only be ignored at our peril. We cannot sustain our foreign spending at its current rate. We cannot sustain these wars. The US dollar is heading toward an historic low and the economy is in dire straits.

Umm since these are just opinions and not actually facts do you think this will really happen? To compare the USA simply to the USSR (The name of Russia during its collapse aka Soviet Union) is patietic. They were basically in shambles since world war 2, and never fully recovered after the war do to government changes. America on the other hand has had the same government for, I'm not positive can't remember my history but well into 200 years. Other civilizations such as the romans or monghols or any other older regime held "office" for nearly 1000 years. What makes everyone think the US will collapse after 200? If everyone is in a rush for some anarchy why not go throw a molotov at your neighbors car? Even if this happened america has been through severe debt before, remember when we beat Russia in hockey some odd 30 years ago, at that time america was in a massive state of depression during the cold war. Not only was there no gas available but no jobs either and the country didn't crumble. Sorry to tell you folks but this country is here to stay for at least another 200 years; we may see a significant depression, but the US will be here to stay just going on History alone. Gas will never run out and we just came in control of eevn more oil "IRAQ", why do you think we haven't left yet even the democrats aren't that dumb. Although it's hard to look at Aremica ruling the world with an Iron fist you may want to get used to it, or find a rock to hide under when the police come by.
