When I keep tracing back "causes" I keep stopping at our debt-based fiat monetary system. We pull back our troops surrounding the world's mineral resources, and we will QUICKLY go to Third World status. What did Orwell say? Without the Empire "England (is) a cold and unimportant little island where we should all have to work very hard and live mainly on herrings and potatoes."

It doesn't have to be that way, but the road back seems less likely every day.
