At least we will not be getting teh Buggy whip comments on this one. We are moving to a society most in the uSA will not like. The potential violence that this will bring .....A society consisting of a very small number of very rich and a large number of unemployed. See Argentina for a current example. Such societies are inherently unstable. Educated and otherwise productive people do not take being idles well. The results come in many forms including what happened in the Weimar Republic.

Wisely observed, friend.

It will take longer than most suspect, remember the "rich" control one of the most sophisticated propaganda machines of all time. Never underestimate the power of mass media and remember few people read the samizdat of the day. I'll bet most of the underemployed think tommorow they hit big will live large become instantly irresistable to members of the opposite sex and be in demand by FOX to appear on the next sleaze show.
