From what I understand finally they did and this so called ruling class started to get a little nervous. You know moving toward socialism and all that. Well thank God that didn't happen and look what we have now and how well this is all going. What's coming that freight train rolling down the tracks although it be slow somewhat the Great Depression the dust bowl is a walk in the park. Forget about socialism because it is now to the point where draconian measures are now needed in many way's. Is this to hard for human's to do, no. Very hard choices and reading a good book by candle light. You laugh because reading by candle light is the good part there are others parts that are not very good if nothing is done and soon. Buy gold, no. The last time I checked you can't eat gold. During the Great Depression and then the dust bowl the government didn’t really step in to help people in the middle of the United States.

Don't worry be happy. That is where I disagree the system is no longer going to work it never really did. The family in California in John's book well think of that family as 6 billion people and the town's people well think of them as Madison Avenue and Bank's and Wall Street and GM and on and on and on. I live in South Georgia and did you hear about Obama's last little statement. You know country people are bitter gave me a break. You see we think we are ok we don't need Madison Avenue or Wall Street or Gm to tell us how to think. Go fishing and grow your own food. Do these geniuses in Banking or Wall Street know how to do that or is pushing that easy button about it. My kid's live here to and my son has Blueberries and we are right now planting vegetables you see I am trying to gave them a fighting chance. Oh things are not that bad. Oh yes they are. These food riots we see are just the beginning and let's just take one country China and in a few years they will start to run low on food and water. Climate change will have a lot to do with that and taking worthless paper form the United States while not only destroying there country but the Earth. How many people live in the United States and how much of the World's resources do we use so we can drive SUV's and become so fat we can't even get out of bed and cover all this over with lot's of prescription drugs as only 50 % of kid's make it out of high school. Yes this is all working out so well. A major fight is brewing – it may be called war. On the one side, we find the short-term financial interests of the fossil fuel industry. On the other side: young people and other beings who will inherit the planet. It seems to be an uneven fight. The fossil fuel industry is launching a disinformation campaign and they have powerful influence in capitals around the world. Young people seem pretty puny in comparison to industry moguls. James Hansen Yes that was James Hansen talking about climate change and he is not only one of the good guy's but damn smart. For Gm to keep making car's and selling them to China or India is insanity and for power companies to even think of using coal is nuts and to keep making fuel from corn or to keep burning forests for fuel is not to bright. So there is a major fight brewing-it may be called war. When do you think we should get started? Game on and remember we think we are just fine we are Ok. Make no mistake about it. This transaction may turn out to be enormously profitable to JP Morgan Chase, Oh really let's watch the markets this coming week and I wonder if anybody at JP Morgan has a book on how to grow there own food. Oh things are not that bad, Oh yes they are. I am looking forward to reading books by candle light again. What you just wrote about the banking system or the financial system it’s like it is ok.

John Steinbeck and a very good book called the grapes of wrath. The thirty's tuff times and in John's book, I am doing this from memory as I read this many moons ago in California there was this family. Nine kids and the mother. The mother was never married she just like having kids. They lived in an old broken down house in the middle of a farming area. The kid's never went to school and just played and were kid's. The food they ate they got from the fields. These kids were healthy and talk about good teeth. The mother would read to them at night by candle light as they had no electricity. Heck they thought they were all right. Well the town's people one day who knew of this mother and her nine kid's had a meeting and decided to help this oh so poor family. They fixed up the house and new clothes for all. Food the good stuff was given to them and they all went to school. Well it didn't take long. Many of the kid's became overweight and remember those good teeth forget about it. The kid's started to fight over who was the best something they never did before or at least like they did now. At school they learned about some people are better they others and hate you know all that good stuff. No more reading by candle light and in many way's the light went out. Rodrigue let me think a few minutes and I will tell you why I think this is important. Rodrigue maybe I can help you with this. John Steinbeck and a very good book called the grapes of wrath.
