Your post sounds post apocalyptic. I know things are grim but I don't think we need to become survivalist. Besides which country do you recommend? You hear about India's emerging middle class but I was listening to a program on NPR (sorry I don't have satellite radio in my car yet) and they were interviewing a man with a wife and child who spend all of their days rummaging through a garbage dump, for pennies a day, to survive. I can only imagine the value of something thrown in the garbage in India. We just need to vote out people who do not work in the nation's interest.
