We will make it through this. It won't be pretty but I hope we will learn something from this. DON'T TRUST WALL STREET. The smartest criminals are drawn to it like magnetism.
I believe more and more people are becoming aware to whats going on. A major "awakening" is a long way off though.
I agree with both of you...only problem is people have a habit of quickly forgetting or beign made to forget(that's why I said history repeats itself)
One thing people will have to learn is everyone only needs a little more than what is necessary for life to be great...anything beyond that opens the door once again to greed and excess.
Everyone will have to learn and stop gauging their self worth by the amount of possession they have, with the more STUFF meaning the greater they are.
Finally the most important thing EVERYONE will have to adhere to will be NEVER FALL FOR ANY GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES...we can now all see what the end result of them will be...
