Richard Heinberg, Oct 2007, "Individuals and families should take to heart the advice given prior to every commercial airline flight: “Secure your oxygen mask before helping others.” In other words, see to your own survival prospects first. This is not necessarily selfish behavior: communities and nations in which individual members are prepared and relatively self-sufficient will fare much better than those in which everyone is dependent and unequipped. If no one is prepared, who can teach others what to do? Learn the life-skills of the pre-fossil-fuel era; know how to use and repair hand tools; know where your water comes from and how to compost wastes; grow food."

Now surf to http://www.naomiklein.org/shock-doctrine/short-film to watch the quickest expose of modern conservative economics (neo-con) and start waking up. As Klein says, getting informed in the only way to protect ourselves from the systemic shock treatments being planned, aided or abetted by the economic elites.

yes.
