200,000 rioters in Italy. Thank about that.

[QUOTE]Greece, as we have warned, is the canary in the coal mine. The people sense something is amiss, and they are acting out. The Italian protests started out as an extension of Occupy Wall Street and reportedly turned violent when a

When the nurses, teachers, engineers, computer people, bakery owners, accountants, etc, begin to feel the heat, it will not belong until the street hippies look saintly by comparison. The economic crisis has arisen out of greed that is it.. Why should a nurse or engineer, the backbone of a society get paid less then the paper shufflers at the top of the pyramid??

The revolution will come from the well educated and higly skilled middle class that is getting crushed from the elite and supporting the deadbeats!! What will happen when the Engineer with a PhD in mechanical or computer science whom can't find work because his job was outsourced to some Indian firm with dubious standards? LOL, An engineer can be a formidable person when his knowledge is self serving or because venegeful. Remember Teddy K?? He was a genius in Mathmatics.. Imagine many hundreds or thousands with a axe to grind!!

I hear "corporate greed" a lot. The "greed" was everywhere-

The couple making $20K a year that "had to have" a 3,000 square foot McMansion. I'm sorry but Principal X Rate X Time is even taught in publix skewl... If you can't read contracts and do simple math- do not purchase anything from anyone.

The stupid lawmakers in the 90's that changed the regs so that "everyone" could own a home. Sorry but not everyone should necessarily own a home. Some should probably rent. Had this same discussion with a black lady in the banking industry while at a hotel a few weekends back. She said flat out, "some people shouldn't own a home." Yet the stupid lawmakers made the regs a lot easier to encourage minorities to buy homes.

IMO, the only "color" that should be considered in this sort of situation is GREEN. That probably sounds mercenary but that's the reality of the situation.

I praise the Lord that we had a very small house but no mortgage when I went for almost a year on $400. income, not $400. a week, not $400. a month, $400. income for most of the YEAR. That was a rough year. Had we had a mortgage we would have probably lost our place. Thank God we didn't.

It's just like all the people prepping NOW that always complain about not having the money to do it. My question is: what did you do with your money while the economy was good? Why was none of this considered THEN? Cause it wasn't tough to find work then? Did you buy into the "forever prosperity" notion? I'm serious.

I've only made good money a handful of years my entire life. During those "good years" I bought land, built a small home for cash. In later "good years" we added on to the small house paying cash as we went, we got completely out of debt, upgraded AE system, put back some cash, etc.

I don't have 5 ATV's in the yard, we have never went for a week to gay loving Disneyland, we didn't think we needed a huge Mommy Bus SUV because we had 2.5 children, we didn't decide to take on some stupid overpriced home cause our house was only 1,000 square feet, etc. We lived small but paid for. In good years we fixed things we couldn't afford to fix during bad years, we upgraded things that needed it, we expanded where it was needed.

It's really no different than the story of Joseph, only during America's last "7 years of plenty" (1999-2006 or 2000-2007 depending on how you look at it) no one put up the grain from the "good years" to keep them through during the "bad years." Instead everyone ate double helpings of grain during the "good years" and are now blaming others because the grain is gone.

THINK ABOUT IT.

If you ate double helpings of your grain during the 7 good years and put nothing back for the 7 bad years, the only person you can really blame is the man in the mirror.

Bingo. There are many good lessons from that story. Even though I am mostly a New Testament person, the same principles still apply.

So in the last year or so:

Iceland
Greece
France
England
Egypt
Italy

I think I am missing one or two but I can not think of who atm?? And if my am not mistaking most these where over foreign banks and government debt (ie the peoples debt) to those banks.

So my next questions are:
#1. Who is next?
#2. When are we (the people) going take back control over our money from the PRIVATE "Federal Reserve Bank", that is Not Federal and most likely has no real Reserves?

If we don't take back control over our money then we will always be indentured servants (ie slaves without the whip).

This is a very good point!
