Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life
Read all of this post at The Belmont Club, but start with this comment:
WESTERN CIV, PART II
The party goers and well wishers
Deny the facts, deny the fissures
They dance atop the speeding floe
That hurtles to the falls below
We have our rights! they scream and shout
You cannot turn this floe about!
There are no falls around the bend
And if there are, it’s not the end
So we will dance and sing all night
And hope that all will turn out right
America will save us soon
Did not they put men on the moon?
Are not they friends who won’t forget?
Will they not come to pay our debt?
They’ve saved us from much worse before
They saved us twice from reckless war
They saved us from the Russian bear
Deny us now they would not dare
No we will dance, watch our debt climb
While fearful they won’t come this time
With pieces breaking off the floe
Here come the falls, the rocks below
Two thousand years, a goodly run
We’ve thrown away for decades fun
No babies born, but what the hell
I’m sure Islam will treat us well
Lest we close on a full downer, how's about the Pythons sing us off stage for today?

Python rules, Saturday Night Live drools.
When all those backward Third World countries who now have formed an axis and want us dead or worse were first building infrastructure, the U.S. loaned them money. When through corruption or incompetence those countries defaulted on those loans, the U.S. forgave those debts. Zoof, pop. Gone. Never see it back again, no harm done, good luck, you're welcome.
I'd like to see R. Lee Ermey as God: "What are you trying to do to my beloved planet? What part of `Don't cast pearls before swine' do you not understand?!!!"
If we could travel at the speed of THOUGHT, to the edge of the observable cosmos and back:

A shame most of the human species is still clubbing each other over who gets the biggest shred of antelope haunch.
what I find interesting are the comments to the post, most of which fail to grasp the reality of the situation.The black Friday crowds are mild compared to violence of a collapse. The first die off is going to be brutal. If you are not mentally & physically prepared, you are food.
the tip is not the spear, the spear is not the tip
Can we have your liver, then?
Sorry, David, old boy -- these chaps already beat you to the abdomen, as it were.
Chin up...there's a good fellow...
If you die first, we're splitting up your organs (that remain salable).
