It is time that we get over being frightened, and just realize what a mess we have created over the past 30 years. It is time for each of us to realize that we are just as intelligent and savvy - or more so - than 99% of the elected officials.
It is time to leave behind fear and anger, and start anew. But we need to know where we are going. That will be our stumbling block: where are we going?
Let's start by trying to stop being fearful: the dice were cast a long time ago. Then let's try to make things the best as we possibly can. Let's use the best maxims and ethics available to us: the Golden Rule. If, after a few years, we discover that The Golden Rule is morally empty and bankrupt, then we can turn to some other state of ferocity.

Hey, let's you and me go sit under a spreading oak and smoke a soothing pipe . . . we're both too soft for what's coming, too idealistic, too tempered by the Spirit, too good for this crass and cruel age.
And I know exactly what I'd put in that pipe: we would be two ancient mariners: Coleridge 1 and Coleridge 2 and dream of our own private Xanadus.
Leave them their Wars on Drugs, on the Middle Class, on Terrorism; just leave them to their deserved fate! Watch from afar as they lose control over their financial system...
Unfortunately, here we are, right in the middle of it.
