I'm sure a couple hundred of you have seen this video probably like the second it came out; however, I'm old and slow but like this vid enough to post it.  It's been seen over  3 million times.  I find it hauting.

Why is it nobody sees more negatives out of global depression? Does global depression not also meant resource wars, famine, widespread disease, health crisis, ect, ect? Has nobody but me seen the photos, and read the story's about what people went though during the depression?

Also, he says right in his video, "different but livable world" thats just silly. There is a real chance that global climate change has nothing to do with man, and we will get all of the benefits of column B, AND put our selves into economic collapse to achieve lost coastlines, ect, ect.

My point? The future is no more scary for us that has been for any one in the past. Reactionary politics is no more effective than do-nothing politics.

Im not saying we shouldnt do anything, but I think understating global economic collapse is the wrong way to win an argument.

Well put stephen.  I couldn't possible come up with a response as astute, accurate and succinct as your response to dan.  It's almost impossible to watch the video and not gather that unless you've got like beer goggles on or something.

Thought provoking video no matter where you suspect the truth lies.  You really would have to be closed minded to just dismiss this reasoning.
