It's a New World

This is the war of our generation.

I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Thomas Jefferson, Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin (1802)3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

As the world scrambles to err on the side of caution, protect the financial system, sacrifice our children to these banker-pigs, we need to hold hands, take a deep breath and treat this like any other natural disaster. We will be fine.

Bankers won't.

Err on the side of caution? What if the revolutionaries felt that way? What about Lincoln?

Americans are woefully unprepared for this, but nothing is going to convince them to include money and economics in the curriculum faster than this mess. We have to get up to speed.
