5. the terrible truth...

Its kinda sad that the entire human race might one day be wiped out by a small handful of greedy bastards.

What is even worse is that we could all just say "fuck it" right this minute and decide that the Wealthy aren't really wealthy. Their Money only has value because we agree that it does. That is the attraction of Collapse; the destruction of the Elite's wealth and, therefore, power. If that occurred, people would be truly Free. But then we get back to "the Rule of Might", which is also unsatisfactory.

Don't have the answers; but perhaps I could just get some Prozac and try to forget about it all.....
