Precarious Balance

While I am not big on the "doomsday" scenario, I do think we are living in very interesting times. Droughts in the Amazon (the forest, not the store) and riots in the streets are causing unrest. Never mind that there are wars going on all over (ie, not just in Afghanistan and Iraq).

Some have taken up protests against austerity measures (which in my opinion, are badly needed by governments everywhere) while others prefer to demonstrate against nuclear power (which in my opinion, should be expanded to reduce the fossil fuels).

One thing that should be kept in mind, however, is that placing trust in money will not be the solution.
