“Easy...any news source who is the first to lead with this will be accused of spreading panic. In other words..the editors are askeered of getting taken to the cleaners..or worse.”
Correct. No different than when crimes occur in Baltimore or New Orleans (or just about anywhere else) - not a peep in the media if the racial makeup of perpetrators and the victims follow the usual trend.
One could only imagine what would happen to Harbor (or whatever they call it in Baltimore) or the French Quarter, if tourists only knew that they were visiting some of the most dangerous real estate on Earth...in cities where politicians seem to derive their strength by reading reports of violent crimes.

BobL continued to further explain and nothing was found in the post (by BobL) where disagreement was warranted (imho). (imho) the dominoes began to be lined up over fifteen years ago in Europe. The first domino to start tilting was Greece, then Spain, and now Italy. People in Europe and the United States have lived (with government help) beyond their means. Governments eventually run out of bullets (or money) to combat failures on the scale of entire countries defaulting. Bailouts are useless (imho), for once the money is gone, from the bailout, the only solution is to print more money causing inflation and devaluation of the printed product (money). A complete and full reset is one solution, yet nobody wins except those who were fiscally extravagant. All parties (imho) are looking to create some winners in this situation. As all parties (or countries) are looking to make those decisions on what institutions win and prosper from the probable coming collapse, unrest is growing in the streets by the people who will be funding the winners. Am having trouble with countries deciding who wins and who loses (myself) while the people (worldwide) are being asked (and perhaps later told) to foot the bill. The world, and the nations of the world who prospered during the illusion and spent beyond what was prudent and wise are seeking someone to blame. When all is said and done, governments will hold someone else responsible besides those who created the problems by being in power within the government. The king or queen, throughout history, has never claimed credit for a disaster, except in rare instances, and should the king or queen claim credit for the disaster, what difference will it make; the disaster will not be lessened, and each of us are being primed to take responsibility for any and all failure. Where the first dominoes will fall are known. What happens next is anyones guess. History may teach us, but most all of mankind never learns.
(imho)
