Because you often "round out" what I'm thinking.
There are big changes afoot, and it will impact those who can't see it coming, or who deny it's approach.

The quicker they become humble, the better off they'll be in their communities.
Can it happen in our lifetimes? Maybe.
I feel major changes afoot, not only a REAL "energy crisis", but changes in the marketplace, supply routes and the "value" of paper money.
