Re: AUT: Fwd: The Gathering Storm?

I am more worried about the "bad is good for us" take. If we don't have a
positive program, we shouldn't wait for the end of the world to makes us
popular. That's an admission of defeat.

On a kind of personal note, thanks to these latest economic gyrations, the
Brazilian currency has taken a nose dive. Why? Maybe banks are worried they
will have to depend on third world debt payments again. Whatever the reason, I
have copped an effective 20% pay cut, as I am paid in R$ converted to US$
converted to Aus$. Does this make me feel like going out there and blowing up
banks? It certainly makes me feel somewhat resentful of people who would
suggest the economic apocalypse is a good thing, whilst largely being shielded
from its effects.
