Sounds like you have come to many of the same conclusions that I have. I anticipate violence here on our soil among our own people, independent of Bin Laden or any other outsider's influence. As resources become scarce and expensive, and standards of living decline, crime will escalate. When each person's situation becomes unbearable, they will become willing to fight. For now our people are apathetic and anesthetized, and unwilling to accept such dire predictions as seem obvious to me.

It sounds like you are the sort of person I want on my side. For now I also work on consciousness raising, and I bide my time until the rest of the path become clear. Keep in touch.

Blessed BE!
