16. Also, part of what is driving this is that even though we are still growing, growth is seen as not

growth is seen as not possible without dire consequences. And the bond market has just turned a corner after 28 years. There may not be a reality yet, but there is a mentality of change.

People respond to the truth, but for some reason timing or the messenger seem to play a role. Why didn't Kucinich get the same following? I saw him, but others didn't. I partly think that growth had a part to do with it. We were still in the Bush mentality. And something H2Oman posted about is fear factor. I think people were still afraid of the Bushstapo mindset. No one dared say the war was illegal, or question where the authorities were taking this country. Then came OWS, and Bernie. All of a sudden we not only have decreased fear factor, (haha Bustapo!), but a new set of terms (1%, 99%,), as well as Wikileaks to give us all the evidence we needed to finally put a foot down.

And even still, growth comes from cheap energy, and resources. That's almost all about to end. But that's another subject's worth of stuff.
