Seems like a mix of new and old information, of truths and no thruths.
I will share with you what my banker told me 9 months ago or better, "If the economy does take a dive, we will all be in the same boat."

A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when the technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
** Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Excellent post DFB!..........I agree 100%.
My only concern is the possilbility of a Manchurian Canidate scenarion on a mass scale with our Military. Mass brainwash.
I pray it won't happen and this will only be a financial meltdown..02c

Now why, THE HELL, isn't that the top headline on the news here in US! For crying out loud!!!
Do you know how frustrating this is? I am trying to do all that I can to keep myself safe, and everyone around me is oblivious.
No one is preparing in New York it seems. No one is stocking food. No one is preparing "go" bags. You know, right down the street from me there is a supermarket that has Chef Boyardee cans for sale for a dollar each. I started stocking up on these months ago, but I gave them away thinking that I was being irrational in my instinctive need to hoarde food...but I was wrong!
Tomorrow, first thing: buy as much canned foods as possible, as much Poland Spring as possible, and prepare a go bag...Then I'm going to the Travelex office and I'm going to get some cold hard Euros to stash (Like it will do any good).
Friday I put $1000 in GLD stock in a futile attempt to buy gold before the coming collapse. I bought it Friday because by the time Monday comes, GLD stock will probably be $20 more a share!
You can't tell normal people about all of this, because if you do, they think you are crazy. But the proof is all around us. If they don't believe you, they use God as a cop-out. "Don't worry. God will take care of everything." they say. What if this is what God wants!
People who are religious are so arrogant that they think their little speck of a Life can prevent catastrophe in a vast universe of existence.
I have friends who are about to make tons of money shorting the stock market. We all knew that the market would collapse, but we are still in awe today because we never thought it would happen this quickly! The collapse is early, my friends.

Thank you.
I don't think there will be. But, there will be us and our willpower to get by. These things happen, especially in a capitalist system. A, being a strong economy and B, being a depression are inevitable. It's what we do between those two points that will determine how well we get through it, not to mention our character and well being.

It's a thought that I have occasionally, but it's too unacceptable to entertain. I really hope not.

I don't think you are getting the picture. If the Government does start rounding up people we will probably we will be the one helping them and even applauding them. It will most be carried out in some kind of disguise. For instance, lets start off with financial fraudsters. The authorities will say to you and justify the rounding up of people with "hey these are the people who are responsbile for you losing your homes...the money speculators...or the oil speculators who drove the price of oil so high as to bring about the economic calamity...the mob mentaility will kick in.
It has already started with the Real Estate fraud case where there was an arrest of 400 people.

Also if the American dollar crumble I believe Canada is set to switch over to the European dollar, not the Amero..lol.
Canada has its our own dollar that is not tied to the US dollar in any way. The CDN$ has risen steadily against world currencies while the US$ has dropped.
Exactly why would Canada switch to the Euro if the US$ collapses?

This is exactly correct. ATS has really gone down hill, its filled now with endless end-of-the-world fantasies. People want so badly for something horrible to happen to lift them out of their mundane lives, they are wishing for the worst. 2008 will come and go without any sort of global economic crash - and people will ignore it, and act like these posts never happened. Then someone will post about a 2009 global crash, and it will start all over again.
Anyone who has a Economics 101 course would be able to tell all this hysteria is nothing but extreme paranoid and delusional fantasies. The type of events required to cause a global economic crash are not on the horizon. About the only way people are going to get lucky and have their wish fulfilled on this is an asteroid or some natural world-wide disaster.
What I find most hilarious is all of the doom and gloomers thinking they are so enlightened and saying things like "the sheep won't wake up" and telling everyone who disagrees with them that they are "sleeping." The only people sleeping are the doom and gloomers, they are being fed exactly the kind of hysteria Armageddon scenarios the media wants them to believe in.
The new motto of ATS should be "Deny Ignorance - Except for anyone posts orgasmic end of the world stuff, then everyone quickly embrace it and wish hard enough for it."
Remember everyone, just because you desire doom and desperately want to believe in every economic apocalypse made up...doesn't mean its going to happen. If a global economic collapse - or even an actual USA depression - occurs in the next 5 years and not due to a global natural disaster, I will personally ask the mods to ban me. I'm quite sure I won't need to.
