From a totally scientific and pragmatic approach the current economic crisis is about as  real as Creationism.  There is a huge "Man made" problem concerning world markets and currency.  Depending on where you get  your info, the leveraged derivative market has created a black hole of debt some where between 600 trillion dollars to 1,500 trillion dollars.  It really does not matter what the figure is, the world simply does not   have that amount of net worth.


This incredible debt created by a bunch of money hungry individuals is a fictitious creation. Money is no more real than a man made clock is. The assholes that control the markets and now our governments have basically made the clock too complicated and cumbersome to understand by the common man.



MONEY IS MAN MADE,  MARKETS ARE MAN MADE, THEREFORE THE CRISIS IS MAN MADE.



Money is simply a form of exchange, created by people.  It can be changed, manipulated, rearranged, configured, discombobulated, redistributed, burned, used as wall paper or to clean my sweet muscular ass.  Money is like a clock that can be changed, wound and reset at any time. 



I find it rather amusing how people get upset about religion being some fake destructive force while at the same time not even realizing the true historical destroyer of civilization has it's roots in money.
