I agree with everything you've said. I've been saying for a long time that there are bad times (much worse than we've been through) coming. I wish I were able to follow the financial disintegration of the world and see where all of it would lead so that I could write a spec fic book about it. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the cogs that run our economic machinery to see the pieces as they would fall.

My only hope is that this comes after I've passed on. I have absolutely no desire to live in a world where you have to fight for food and all that's left is to go back to very basic living conditions or sit and wait for death to catch up with the millions who will starve to death, the strong taking from the weak to survive, survival going to the strongest but not the worthiest.

The movie version could be called, "Starting Over."
