   I feel bad for our young-ens. They don't know, or, never will know, How good WE had it. On the other hand,
   
   I never thought I would live long enough to see My Country, The same country, Going head first, in the toilet.

      Hey Oly. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
      
      Oly, survival depends upon our ability to adapt to change. Time to stop thinking about how great things used to be and start thinking about how proud our children are going to make us feel in the future.

   Yup, we got here by greed.  Yes, we should understand that what we do today effects our children for tomorrow!  We are to be stewards of this land and leave it in better condition for our grandchildren.  So sad!

   I don't think many realise how dire the worls economic situation is.
   As someone mentioned, it was caused by pure greed but this wealth destruction and transfer has been going on for decades not just recently.
   Currencies have been losing their values for years but the unsuspecting public were paying the stealth tax that is inflation.
