W, Sorry I had to change your punctuation. We are close. Now, you might like this... I am not basing this on charts or on history, because although history does always repeat itself, it never does it on time.

I am basing it on the behavior of human beings. A virus runs through the body and wreaks havoc, but it does not usually kill the host. Usually, the host will mount a response and recover.

the body of our nation is sick, but not sick like a cancer sickens, sick like a flu, a bad flu and it is going to crash.

A society exists based on the quality of its social mores, and presently our social mores are at a nadir. In other words, they suck. Granted, we're not feeding Muslims to the lions, but go to a Nascar event sometime and you will sense that we really are not too far away. That is why Borat was so disturbing, because people know that we are closer to snapping than we are comfortable admitting to ourselves.

When a people disintiegrates, their economy disintegrates. And that is what is happening. I don't think we'll be entering into a period of dark ages as some suppose, but as Warren Brussee stated so succinctly in his book, we will go back to a simpler time.

Many people are going to lose everything and become much poorer. Ironically, they will ultimately be much happier, at least their children will be, because when left to his own devices, man will almost inevitably bring himself great sorrow. When controlled and put into a system, man is happiest.

The idea that slavery is an unhappy state is ludicrous. Look at the misery you see around you with the supposedly free people of this nation? They are a diseased and lonely bunch and that disease is going to end. SOON!

So, I say that a collapse is not coming. It has already happened. One thing necessarily leads from another. A moral collapse cannot be followed by anything but an economic collapse. And the moral collapse has come.

Even you Windridge take as normal most of the abominations that have occurred. Women on the battlefield, their husbands at home feeding formula to children. Homosexuals marrying and being applauded for it. Fourteen year olds bringing their boyfriends home to sleep over and parents accepting this. High school teachers handing out condoms. Music that condones sex and violence and a me first attitude applauded and held up for praise.

See the signs. the center cannot hold. Most people who say they believe in God, in truth, do not, but if you do not believe in God, perhaps you believe in an organizing force of the universe. If you do, you must understand that such a system as ours cannot, by natural law exist long into the future.

It will destroy itself eventually.

the only reason it will not is because it has GOLD to save it.

Read what I just wrote: THE ONLY REASON IT WILL SURVIVE IS BECAUSE IT HAS GOLD TO SAVE IT! This is why gold exists! If it did not, all cultures would eventually disintegrate. There must be a gold standard to rescue us when we get into trouble, and we are in big trouble.
