I too feel sorry for those still asleep, and for those who don't recognize that there are other ways. I think the powers that be have done a great job getting us to use the phrase "free markets" instead of "market system" in reference to Capitalism. Market systems, by their very nature, are already free. The term "free market" is an oxymoron. The "free" has been added to tie it with notions of "freedom," which is patriotic, etc. To challenge the "market system" does not invoke the sentiments of cultural treason quite like challenging "free markets." Because, as we know, challenging "free markets" means that one must support unfree markets, and is therefore an unpatriotic, devil worshipping traitor.

I too want to be prepared before it all goes to ****, and I think many of us will be, and can help those who don't quite get it together in time.

Thanks for your comments
