I'm not suggesting that Ron has his 'head in the sand' but some of the posters on this thread, do. I do not believe the collapse of the twin towers is as simple as 'Osama and his band of terrorists' are to blame. If he were, he would have been captured or killed by now.

Conspiracies can and do happen. It should be obvious to everyone by now that the U.S. government has conspired to disrupt the governments of other countries for a very long time. It is at the expense of others that the U.S. has grown so rich.

I thought 'the shit was going to hit the fan' when Nixon was in power. I thought that wide-ranging poverty would lead to civil war. I was wrong. It just led to the thirty years of constipation.

I now think that when Cuba, Venezuela and Iran state their allegiance to each other in an effort to protect themselves from the U.S.; North Korea and China will not be far behind. How long do you think that U.S. can withstand that kind of pressure? Economically, this does not bode well for the world.

The so-called 'war on terrorism' is a conspiracy in itself. The collapse of the twin towers was just a catalyst. It has backfired in a very big way.

Once again, I am looking for a retreat. A place where I will not be affected by the world economy. A place where I can feed my family without being dependent on retail outlets. A place where I don't need a car. A place where I can breathe fresh air and drink clean water.

In other words, its time to go back to the land. Those of you who are dependent on electricity, city water systems, other people to provide food and clothing, gas and oil should be making alternative plans. I don't think an election will make a difference. They've gone too far this time and complacency and apathy has allowed it to happen.
