I just gotta get to where I have time to type it out.
K I will bullet point it for yah


1) War is the answer. The population of the world has increased 50% in my short time on this planet. This growth rate is not sustainable. With advances in medicine and safety features in factories and motor vehicles... The only thing that will kill enough of us off... is us.

2) By making the poor dependent on welfare etc, when that source of income dries up since they a have been so accustomed to it for so long... (combined with an increasing aggressive and unlawful media representations) when it does collapse we will have wars in our cities.

3) Someone earlier said Hitler can't happen today because we are smarter and more aware. Except that is exactly not true and I say the Internet makes us dumber and more easily manipulated. Hitler rose to power only 70-80 years ago? That is not exactly the dark ages. We have not changed much and things are going on all the time that most people are oblivious too.

4) Moving from a production based to a service based society was the next progression. A manufacturing society is successful only as long as someone is there to buy it. Competition from 3rd world countries means our overpriced goods would sit on the docks waiting for a buyer. Instead of selling cars for $25,000 a pop that cost 10-15 grand to build. We will design and sell the plans to build that car (or the factory that makes them) for millions. That is a good thing... (IE All societies are consumer based unless they are 1st stage... Agrarian)

5) I don't understand the Ponzi thing nor global economics. I thought you were getting hung up on something that was clever but ultimately what all govts do. I could be wrong here. Trivializing what our government is doing by comparing it to con artistry is clever but not useful.

6) TV sucks in general for reporting anything even close to news. The only thing that does actual report NEWS. Is CSPAN. Because there is no commentary. they setup a camera in the house or the senate and just let it roll. Agenda is left to the participants not the presenters.

The rest was just repetitive crap Kept harping on the Hitler thing... cuz it can and is happening.
