He may be wrong on the details, after all, who knows the future, but the man and other thinkers like him, do get it, while our leaders don't, or are afraid to admit that they do. No one who's anyone ever listens to Cassandras, and no one will listen to Dantec. This is the price we pay for living in a representative democracy (all right, all right, this poll driven political system is a "republic", we know), as opposed to a monarchy, say. The trains are headed for a collision, we know it, we see it coming, and we can't do anything to stop it!
Well said, Revolting Cat.
