I don't think I said that Americans *deserve* the Great Depression Squared in a karmic sense (although there is certainly a case to be made for that), or that such an event would be the result of some kind of "Natural Law," only that an event of that magni- tude may be what is necessary to wake them up. They're that far gone. I don't think that they'll really do anything to change things until they're starving in the streets. ------------------------ Yahoo!
