That right there is the core of it all.

When I say we have an opportunity, it's because of the vacuum created by the fall of everything we've ever known. I don't blame you for being scared, joe2288, but I'd invite you to consider that this is exactly what's supposed to be happening. The thing is, that vacuum creates opportunities for the predators as well, and don't think they aren't already making plans.

This time, we have a chance to get there first.

And....thank you all for your wonderful replies. I surely never expected such an outpouring of support.
