These statements are really hurtful leaving the poor with no hope and only in further states of despair for those of us in the belly of the beast and no way out. There's nothing for us to look forward to you. We live day to day work 20 hours a day just to survive. "On a large scale, this related thought is also true: On our planet, the people get the results they create!" Not all of the people created these results. There is no way out so brag about great it is to live naturally it's not that we choose to have processed foods You know how expensive to get superfoods and raw organic let alone pay bills and property taxes. Where is there hope? Is there a place for us to go who don't want all of this BS if we don't have the money to become resident of another country? No one will take you without money. That's the bottom line. Guess those don't have the money are all just SOL. You are no better than the elite that are destroying the world just because you were blessed with financial security. Sure there will be a place in Ecuador for people to come and look at the medicinal herbs this is only for the elite. It's one thing to talk big where are the solutions that actually help mankind? The elite can escape the burning hell that they created. “Nor do most people think beyond their own paychecks and immediate circumstances.”

To listen to you guys brag about how great it is to leave the US and live a peaceful life gardening organically and living happily. It makes us feel even more doomed than we already are. Knowing that only the elite can immigrate those with no retirement pension or a way of outside income there is no hope. Everyone I know who has left tells me how great it is to live in paradise and live outside because they had the ways and means to get out. What about us young people that don't even have a job yet and no money to invest in a foreign nation? No time to start a website to generate income now. I guess we're all doomed as the rich and informed are out sipping margaritas and sitting on the beach growing organically in the nations that have a chance of faring. There is no hope for the common man. Only the 1 billion elite of the world will survive. Mike,

Complete and total genocide of other peoples and cultures. In order to protect one's own way of life, one would have to inflict carnage on a massive scale to insure that carnage is not inflicted to one's self. Unfortunately, those who possess the ability to do such things have lost the stomach for it. Well except for China, they've got about a billion people...hmmm.
