`Does anyone but me see the collapse of civilization in our lifetime?`

Read `Cities in Flight`.


As we understood (understand) it, civilization has already collapsed. IMO, it started about 150 years ago. The garb for riches is simply the new neocon method of ensuring that when billions of people need to be killed off--well, they won`t be amongst those who need to be killed off. This shit has been happening since the term New World Order began to be bandied about in the late 1800s. IMO.
