Thanks, Blam.

There are none so blind as those who believe that the fiat dollar will reign forever.

My personal grief is so very deep. My adult children are mesmerized by all of our “just-in-time” systems, and have no idea that they will be suffering the whirlwind, when it collapses the coming storm.

It seems to me that most younger freepers do not really understand history or economic theories. Not that I understand it all, but common sense told me a long time ago that you can’t rob Peter (the productive class) to pay Paul (the unproductive) for long. Margaret Thatcher said it best.

What I have learned in the past few decades how powerful forces can keep even bright and intelligent people fooled, for much longer than I thought possible.

I am now in the “elderly” category, and have an increasing appreciation to Neil and Howe’s “Fourth Turning”. All of our cherished institutions are failing, as all have been infiltrated and taken over by “utopians” who believe in the tooth fairy, and are willing to kill those who do not share their view of how life on earth “should” be lived.

How do these “progressive theories” differ from Islamic ideology?

It is something I think about from time to time. Like Islam, they would not mind killing those who do not share their concept of how they want the world to work, how they want “their reality” to prevail. All that matters is that their world view prevails over whoever they define as the infidel.
