When I look back on history, and think about the great depression- when men, women and children starved- Ive often wondered why people fell back to Government and money. That was the issue (after-all).Perhaps people believed that they were powerless... People had skills, to continue doing things like farming, building.. helping each other- coming together. But I think that they didnt see that they had power, because they had been told that they didnt.When you think about the power that people have (especially today), you can see that if something (like the collapse of banks) were to happen, we would all be perfectly okay. We still have inventors, builders, farmers, gardeners, entertainers, doctors, barristas, sports people, writers, etc. They dont disappear. We could simply just go on, do what we love, and not worry about income from those pursuits. And everyone would be okay. Probably better, in-fact. No worry about paying bills, or affording things we want (or need).Too bad that people (during the depression) never thought to do that. But then again.Whats that saying?Hindsight is 20/20...."From the third book in the "I Am... Subject to change without notice" series, by Cheri Bauer
