Well, the govt has taken control of our water supply and taken over the  
lions share of our transportation with the takeover of the auto industry 
aside 
 from holdout Ford , all in a matter of months. Will milk be next? the milk 
 producers are losing a fortune every month, and can only hold out so long. 
Who  thought we would see 1.50 per gallon for milk again and what caused 
the 70  percent price deflation in 6 months? Surely the downtick in the 
economy didn't  cause that big a drop in demand, it has never happened before 
in 
hard times. I  am watching this one with interest. As far as barter exchange, 
our current  system is based on the dollar and already under their control. 
The other item I  would add to the list would be communications and the new 
bill giving the  President the power to control the private sector Internet 
is as scary as the  rest of this. Pickens has been a major backer of the 
current administration,  could the recent machinations with delays for 
funding 
be the excuse for the  government to step in and offer to finance (and 
control) the energy project? He  could simply be floating the balloon to try 
and 
get public backing for this new  "clean" energy source so the government 
can ride in on the white horse and  "save" the plan. We shall see.

energy,  transportation, procreation, and barter exchange somehow, etc.

Remember  T. Boone Pickens' plant to build that huge wind farm in TX?  
Rumors were  that he cancelled it a month or so ago,
but he then stated it was  cancelled, but delayed,,,,,,, because he can't 
get the financing, and there  aren't enough transmission 
lines to transmitt any energy he produced to  get it to the masses....    
Guess getting electricity to the  masses isn't important.

Yep. Doesn't seem to  matter who's president. That was the point of the 
video 
Leslie posted the  other day...international money concerns are running 
everything, including  both parties. I'm not big on conspiracy theories, 
but 
I suspect there is a  lot of truth in that one, but I'd also include 'big 
ag', 'big  pharmacuticals', 'Monsanto', etc. in the ruling class.

Ack! I hate reunions. I just had a  reunion with my cousin, whom I haven't 
seen in 45 years. I've often heard  from her, mostly when her husband 
became 
aide to the govenor or she got  her law degree or they bought a big new 
house 
or some such. Anyway, she  looked about 10 years older than she is and has 
all sorts of  stress-related illnesses. She talked about her hectic life, I 
talked about  vegetables and cows :-) She grudgingly admitted that my 
lifestyle must  agree with me because I "look so good" (I think it's more 
that she looks  so bad; she's only 4 or 5  years older than me).
