>>As John Ryan said though- a tipping point will come- and it will be fun to watch.

I'm concerned. The last revolution was between people who had differences but basically respected each other. This time there are extremes, one of which perceives itself as rightful aristocracy with absolute disdain for the feeble masses, and the other that is fragmented but now needs only direction and opportunity to erupt. I don't want to be there when the proverbial hits the fan. It's worse than rioting: basically the veneer of civilization is rubbed off and what remains is savagery you'd never expect of your dentist neighbor. Ask Dragan. Still avoidable if people could find it in themselves to show respect and consideration for each other. Too much to expect, apparently.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
