Oh my.

The mountain man primitive, who like all men nightly pitches his tent one day's march nearer the mausoleum:

Can I ask you two deeply personal questions?

I just wonder how people feel about things. Do you fear a coming time of utter financial turmoil, collapse, something so bad that the old monetary and finance systems are gone and something different emerges to take its place? And second question is; with or without reference to religious beliefs do you fear death? Like I said, very personal. I suspect that the thinking of people who self-identify as Democrats on these two questions is much different than that of either closet or overt Republicans.

1. No and No

If the power elite decide to actually blow up the basics of the monetary system if won't be in my lifetime - but I doubt they will. It's in their interest to string us along at the lowest quality of life level that we'll tolerate without revolution.

I am not afraid of dying but I am not in a hurry. I am afraid of having a long period of dependence before I go.

2. Sure

1st. The changes are already happening.

2nd. If you fear death, like I do, it means you really do want to live.

Death means you are no longer alive and can't post on DU, and who wants that?

One wonders what prompts the mountain man primitive to ask the second question.
