yep, them comments are real eye openers. But, most reading this site have heard worse. guess that's why many of us are doomers. Wonder what makes folks refuse to study the facts? Maybe our culture has ripped folks off so often most see everything as a scam. I afraid this thing is going to get real bad. Maybe the folks who have found a bolt hole are going to be the only ones to suffer through the next few years. The rest are in denial through ignorance, religion, or just plain blindness. What a ride!

I'd say 'duh' but that us not helpful.

Plenty of corruption and the powerful breaking the law going unpunished so why should anyone be surprised when such a viewpoint exists?

Open records strikes me as a good starting point in an attempt to shut down the scammers.
