Faster, perhaps? But I am not fully convinced of that, but a smoother transition,...yes. We're going to get it either way, I don't see anyway of avoiding it, the die is cast, our goose cooked....we're done. Resistance appears to be futile. The more we resist, the tighter they'll turn the screws. Americans aren't going to resist, take away their comfort and they'll conform to anything. This election cycle is proof of that, we're fighting between Reps and Dems because we're ignorant of the enemies devises, not aware that both are leading us in the same direction, their simply taking two different routes to get us there. IMHO, this worldwide economic crisis is an orchestrated power grab.
