wonderful times, bud

Yeah, there's lots of people out there selling anything and everything they can. We're still a money-driven society... for the most part. I'm thinking about reversing that trend.
Sure, Amerikan currency is almost useless, and I can't help thinking that's a good thing. I mean, most of the world's currency is useless. We just happen to be ahead of the curve and likewise, we have to be the first to come up with a better idea than useless paper as a bargaining medium.
I can see it almost everywhere I look. The end of the Agricultural/Industrial Revolution is right around the corner, and a lot of these guys see it. They look like deer in the headlights, unable to do anything about it as they realize the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

Just a few examples...
Starbucks just posted its lowest profits in history. WalMart is cutting back by "allowing" its cashiers to no longer wear the walMart smocks but their own blue shirts, saving a bundle on uniforms. Bear and Stearns got bought out by JP Morgan with the help of low-cost loans from the Federal Reserve. The housing boom bubble burst from sub-prime loans wasn't just in this country but all over the world, and as a result, economies are crashing all over the globe. For the first time in history, the Olympic torch was purposely extinguished, twice. The Catholic church is losing revenue as a result of bankrupt dioceses from lawsuits. The pope used to be a Nazi, Obama used to be Islamic, and Hillary is still a socialist... and everyone knows this. Food. clothing, and shelter are all under attack because Monsanto is poisoning our food, the Federal Reserve is devaluing our currency and Mobil/Exxon can't afford to rebuild their own infrastructure because their corporate executives are taking the lion's share of the profits with out of control paychecks and bonuses, as are the rest of the major corporations. The pope's visit was a dismal failure because religious control doesn't work anymore, and people are openly wondering why God can't handle money and always needs more while the world starves. The whole system is being crushed under its own top-heavy weight and we all get a front-row seat to witness the fireworks at the end of the carnival.
And the biggest evidence is this massive human convergence at a sub-atomic level. Like it or not, understand it or not, we're all morphing into a resistance block firmly entrenched in the now and, it scares the hell out of the people who rule the world.

It's truly wonderful times we live in, bud.
