[Oe List ...] Another Perspective

[Jack Gilles]

Dear Colleagues,

Not so fast!  To try and compare our current situation with 29 is a  
fallacy (bank failures, mortgage failures, etc.).  We live in totally  
different times with a global economy and much more powerful forces at  
work.  We are in a much more chaotic time, by that I mean the number  
of factors that can affect any situation and the complexity are so  
much more that we don't know where in the world, or what in the world  
will tip things.  Secondly, if you haven't watched the chapters on <http://www.chrismartenson.com 
 > please do so.  You will see that we are living in "hockey stick"  
times.   That is, all the curves that affect our lives are in the  
exponential part of the curves.  We are heading up rapidly on every  
curve that matters and when they all interact there is no telling what  
the result will be except that we are headed for monumental change.  I  
defy anyone to look at the present statistics and project what will  
happen.  The intersections of the Economy, Energy and Environment have  
never happened before.  So before we calm down and say the sky isn't  
falling, let's get a clear picture of what is and is not holding up  
the sky these days.

G&P,

Jack
