Hi Colby,

Lots to take in. Terrific summary replete with practical advice at actual survival. Sadly most of us just dont have the kind of cash to truly set up for the long term. Its true. The money involved is astyronomical.

Your comments were right on I felt. I'm afraid I'm one of those damned arm chair generals! There's a reason, partial explanation for this phenomena; i-net! Sure. Just pause to think how the I-net has given us the megaphone to all the globe, right from our desks! And yes, as per your suggestions, lots of the things we loner philosophers send out doesnt amount to a whole lot. But then, neither does what most of the politicians babble on about help. Those are the very people who will be running for priviledged bunkers leaving the rest mof us outside to rot. Seeing it that way its difficult to keep quiet.

Anyway. I really enjoyed your post, Lots of food for thought and some good ideas.

Thanks.
