Why is it that the world looks so fragile now to everyone anyways? I mean, from the inevitable doom that is upon us, we would be lead to believe the Baby Boomers were the generation that F'ed it all up for however few generations are left.
Then again, WWI and WWII musta looked pretty close to being the end of civilization, the Hundred Years war musta sucked, in fact, the Middle Ages in general must have seemed like man was moving backwards.... Ok, debt is in the trillions, global warming, phycos with nukes, terrorists, no rain forest, no ice caps, AIDS, Bird Flu, GW Bush, killer astroids, the coming of christ (I saw it in a tabloid), I mean.... it seems insane. I know your thread is about Credit spooky bud, but to me it's just another reason we are lead to believe we should build a bunker and hide away.
So, if anyone can answer this young, innocent

youth's question....just how bad is this, and compaired to what the world has pulled it's fat ass out of before, how screwed have my parents left us as the next generation rises and has to deal with these problems that seem to promice to be the end???
(I'm not sure how off track that was spook, but your doom and gloom got me ranting

...sorry)
