End of an Era

The Federal Government is considering purchasing equity stakes in banks and insurance companies, thus signalling the end of Capitalism, and the onset of socialism. While many in this country compare the current situation to the Great Depression, it may be worse than the Great Depression. One might say that a sickness or a blindness prevails throughout the world. With the onset of modern telecommunications, events and effects happen much faster than in the past. News spreads at the speed of light. Many do not trust the mainstream media. Many do not trust the government. Religiously, there have been questions raised about Barak Obama being Muslim, and hence the anti-Christ. Technology has progressed at such a rate, that society has been strained attempting to keep up. Politically, the government is in turmoil. Intellectually, individuals question whether the educational system is working. Economically, the industrialized countries, the United States, England, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, and Japan are rushing head first into a depression. The birth rate is down. Wages are stagnant. Growth is all but non existent. The question arises as to what the source of the problem is, and as to the solution. It reads like Europe during the 1930's. People are reluctant to voice their opinions. Class structure is embedded into the system. The system itself is oftentimes time consuming and flawed. How all of this will play out is the stuff of a novel.
