Nothing to apologize for, Nemo. OWS could be extremely important. Gerald Celente - who is no slouch when it comes to observing and making predictions - said yesterday that the first "great war" of the 21st Century is here. He was referring to the OWS + Tea Party + Arab Spring protests. http://www.infowars.com/first-great-war-of-the-21st-century-is-here-with-gerald-celente/
I don't see it that way... or, at least, I think 'war' is too strong. But then, I'm no Gerald Celente. I *do* recognize that empires in decline almost always turn to their military and expansionisim/domination in order to keep their population bases from feeling the pain.
Hopefully, before it unfolds much more, I'll isolate my family from the worst of it in my little place up north. Unlike most Democrats and Republicans, I'm no fan of war. And ALSO unlike most Democrats and Republicans, I've made some preparations for it.
