Thanks, Ben - I'd heard Celente speak before but spent a little time listening to Celente and Rogers on Youtube yesterday -

Pretty much everything Celente said is what I've been saying to my wife the last few months and she agrees although it isn't a swell scenario - I suppose prepare for the worst and hope for the best has always been my MO anyway.

Unfortunately, I don't think hope alone is going to set this straight, it's too pernicious - the amazing thing is the parallel to the 19th Century Robber Barons which I've said here before - it's deja vu all over again because the general population is simply ignorant about our own history...

	"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
