It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

I would say that anything's better than what you WERE wearing helps.

I agree with Long Mike.  A decline in work ethics, and may I add plain 'ole common courtesy and decency, troubles me far more.  We can get through the economic hard times.   Getting back morals is the hard part.  

I'm not so sure it won't take a dose of real evil to get people to remember the difference between right and wrong.

For some reason I am reminded of the following:

"Maybe a revolution every now and then is a good thing...no?"

Captian Ramius to John Ryan in "The Hunt for Red October"

[Catt]

This country was founded on Capitalism and Capitalism is greedy economic system

Capitalism: an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods, by investments that are determined by private decision, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market

Greed: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed.

Actually Mike that is a stolen quote

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccessful rebellions, indeed, generally establish the encroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions as not to discourage them too much. It is a medicine necessary for the sound health of government. A Letter From Thomas Jefferson To James Madison
