1. We already have.

People just don't know it.

4. It began the moment Reagan was elected. But the effects took time to propagate. (NT)

3. We're at the point where we're falling past the event horizon into the black hole.

We can care all we want and it isn't going to change anything.

7. Yes, it has a momntum now that can't be stopped , I think.

[Nay]

9. Tesha, you're exactly right. It IS too late, and all we can do is watch

the shit hit the fan. As for what exactly happens to the shit and the fan, well, nobody knows. It probably won't be pretty, tho.

I have come to the conclusion that humans, and humankind, just isn't quite smart enough individually or collectively to pull itself out of the mess. I see masses of ppl glued to stories rather than reality.

10. Yes, I'm pretty sure it's time for everyone assume fetal positions and die.

No one in the world has ever gone through the hell we are going through now.

:sarcasm:

12. Don't be a jerk. Lots of people have been in this situation before and...

lots have died. We're entering territory that may be unfamiliar
to over-privileged Americans (at least within the lifetime of
most of us), but it's well-known in much of the world.

6. It already has, but we still call it a recession.

11. Sometime in the first quarter of 2010

When there are no more cost to cut and the bailout bubble starts to burst.
