Xhaosis, I understand what you are saying and I agree with you. Sure, this new world supposedly will be a wonderful thing, but watching the world we know crumble is not pleasant in the least. Watching my parents who worked hard all their lives, played by the rules, paid their bills, and saved their money lose their investment value (for now) and worry about money at their age is disgusting.
I also notice that some people who aren't so worried about the state of the world's economy don't have all that much to lose themselves. In fact, a few people I know who are basically bankrupt financially seem to be enjoying this pain. That is nothing to rejoice over, if you ask me. Greed isn't a positive thing under any circumstances, but watching good people who only tried to plan for their retirement and take care of their families suffer doesn't inspire positive feelings in me.
I suppose if I were in my late teens or twenties and hadn't tried to play by the rules as they have been all these years and thought I had built some security I would be more open to the crumbling of the economy. At my age rebuilding from nothing isn't all that appealing. Cold showers and living in the woods doesn't sound cool to me. I guess I am one of the ones who should perish.
