Money is the reason the nwo even exists. Its a thing of the past. Ya sure we can destroy the nwo. but eventually someone will scratch there way to the top, people will forget about this time, and BAM!!! here we are again. 99.9% of people will say that the world can't exist without money. And they are right to a degree, the way we think now, ther right it is not possible. But if we do change our way of thinking and use our intellegence, we are capable of making the world a better place for everyone, not just America. I realize to do that is far from easy. but if we are to survive as a species than we need to change our way of thinking in great lengths or we are going to see a non stop vicious cycle of violence, greed, crime, starvation, and expliotian of the lower class world wide until ultimatley we are all gone, period.

The future we are facing was created by silly people who turned a blind eye while they continued livin' large beyond their means. None of their acquisitions (be it extravagant cars, homes, tech gadgets, or even doritos) will mean a thing to them when they finally have to look this new beast in the eyes. The reason I point this out is because whether you want to admit it or not, these are the exact same silly people (the majority) who will continue their silly actions regardless of the economic terror (which it most definitely will be for many) and as a majority, they will be the ones you will have to rely upon for solutions to exterminate this threat that you entice so bravely. I would hate to see ALL of the foundations we have taken for granted in the country be tossed aside in the name of security (be it from terrorism or even economics) due to some hasty solutions that will be left for an equally hasty public to decide. After all if most people weren't downright stupid and could see beyond their own little worlds, perhaps much of this mess could or would have been avoided.

The people of the world need to wake up to themselves and realize that they don't need fashion, fancy cars and a cupboard full of doritoes to be happy. All they really need is basic living standards and a non ego-tistical attitude to life. A return to the good old days before everything became ball-games and mindless fluff! Bring it on, their plan is sure to backfire as the people are about to wake up and realize they wont play this "global economy" crap any longer! It's time to unite! Let the crisis happen!

Indeed it does, but if we are to have any hope of getting *any* meaningful reform — whether having to do with economics, civil liberties or foreign policy — implemented properly (or even at all), we must demand — not request, DEMAND — that certain key election reforms be implemented simultaneously.

The election reform measures that I advocate are:

1. ballot access reform

2. instant runoff voting for Presidential elections

3. proportional representation for Congressional elections

4. hand-counted paper ballots for ALL elections

5. the repeal of both the Federal Election Campaign Act and Bipartisan Campaign “Reform” Act

6. a binding NOTA (”none of the above”) option on all election ballots

To understand what I mean, imagine that you're on the Titanic, knowing for a fact that you're going to be fighting for your life in freezing water within an hour, and that every time you try to warn somebody about the situation, you get the same glassy-eyed, semi-conscious response: "Huh? Titanic? Iceberg? Lifeboats? Oh, uh, well, I'm just not interested in Oceanography." Sound familiar? That's the average American (or so it seems). Most are hellbent on waiting until THEY THEMSELVES are submerged in water before FINALLY getting that "look" in their face.
