[quote=Arraya] Though, we do have the ability to change. It’s up to our collective actions. Which would include major changes in how we structure our societies and do business. I don’t think it is possible to do this with centralized planning, except maybe infrastructure wise. I think it has to be done on a local level, which is what it really comes down to, the people we live around. All things are transient and we will adapt or perish. My thinking is evolved to the point where I think eventually we may get rid of the nation-state at least that should be our goal. Not on a french revolution level but as a natural progression towards a more free society. Either way, I look at this time as probably one of the most exciting times to be alive. [/quote]
Arraya: I would certainly agree that is an exciting time to be alive. We’re going to see a major transformation, societally speaking, in values, attitudes, mores, etc and one that is long overdue.
Much like the Great Depression bred the Greatest Generation (as did WWII), I think we’ll emerge from this a better, stronger nation. And, by stronger, I don’t mean militarily, nor do I mean religiously (there are evangelicals that are positively salivating at the thought of a “new Kingdom”). I mean a return to core values, like honesty, integrity and character. I think we can all agree that those have been in exceptionally short supply as of late.
