“Roland, everythings got to changes. What you want me to do ‘bout it?” Miles Dewey Davis to Rahsaan Roland Kirk

Yep, it’s just a matter of whether things change for the better, or continue to change for the worst, with most individual humans ignoring and stubbornly defying available beneficially practical logic, reasoning, science, mathematics, spiritual essence, and so on - for whatever known and unknown illogical reasons and excuses that inevitably lead to a bitter end of doom and gloom.

As was stated by someone: "Keep heading in the direction that YOU are headed, and YOU will get to where YOU are heading." That is true for all of us individuals, nations, or whatever.

During all times, 'good' and 'bad,' throughout human history, great nations, and individuals rise and fall, as well as all people are born and die. The most important part of which is: How peaceful, or tormented, one is at the time of death, and where to from here…

In this Age Of Information, the examples keep rapidly manifesting to the eyes and ears of all, and there can be none who are coherently honest and sincere that can ignore or deny.

Eventually it has to, will and shall, be realized, know and accepted in consensus thinking, priorities, choices, behavior and actions, of and by most individuals, that the current global economic/financial systems, as well as most religious and educational institutions/organizations, have been and are intentionally, deliberately, deceitfully, and deceptively (saying one thing while meaning and doing otherwise) contrived by a small number of psychologically and spiritually corrupt, clever, sometimes charming and charismatic, most psychopathic criminals of the highest orders and official credentials, hopelessly committed to overall control, at all cost, against the natural order of the Universe, which we are a miniscule part of,  and cannot possibly be fixed for the fairness and best interest of the majority of the populations in general and desirable habitation on this planet, overall.  

The fact of this matter is, a totally new financial/New Paradigm system is necessary – honestly, intentionally and purposefully using, as a starting point, the 1992 World Scientists' Warning to Humanity from The Union Of Concerned Scientists' list of changes that must be made, before the current systems totally collapse, or after.  

In the words of The Union Of Concerned Scientist: “Current economic practices which damage the environment, in both developed and underdeveloped nations, cannot be continued without the risk that vital global systems will be damaged beyond repair. - No more than one or a few decades remain before the chance to avert the threats we now confront will be lost and the prospects for humanity immeasurably diminished.”

NPR      Business - Survey: Millions Forced To Rethink Retirementby Marilyn Geewax Listen Now [3 min 11 sec] add to playlist | downloadWeekend Edition Sunday, June 28, 2009 ·

"With the recession squeezing wages and holding back stock prices, millions of Americans are being forced to rethink their plans for retirement, according to a new survey.

Watson Wyatt Worldwide Inc., a retirement consulting firm, has released a survey showing that in the past year, 44 percent of workers age 50 or older have had to delay their planned retirement date. Three-quarters of those now planning to postpone retirement cite the loss of savings in their 401(k) accounts as the single biggest reason, the survey showed. The respondents also said they need to work longer because of rising health-care costs and fears about price inflation.

If Americans do keep working longer, it would reverse a decades-long trend towards earlier retirement. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says the average age for men at retirement in the early 1950s was just under 67. That age fell continually until it hit 62 in the late 1990s.

The survey of 2,200 full-time workers suggests the recession, stock market crash and drop in home values could dramatically reverse the earl retirement trend. Half of workers over age 50 now say they plan to retire at age 66 or later.

"The economic crisis has affected many workers' retirement plans and nest eggs, but those nearest to retirement have been especially hard hit," David Speier, senior retirement consultant at Watson Wyatt, said in a written analysis of the data. "Older workers do not have the time to offset declining retirement account values, either by recouping their investment losses or significantly increasing their savings rate. For many, the only choice is to delay retirement."

A Federal Reserve survey in 2007 found that the median household in the pre-retirement age group — ages 55 to 64 — had total financial assets of more than $72,000. Based on the stock market's performance over the last two years, those savings would have been whittled down to $55,000.

Such losses appear to be spurring more Americans to save. On Friday, the Commerce Department said the savings rate spiked to 6.9 percent in May, up from 5.6 percent the previous month. That's the highest savings level in 15 years." http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=106012406
