You Americans reading this newsgroup really ought to read a book by Harry  
E. Figgie, JR. called BANKRUPTCY 1995.  It scared the living **** out of  
me, and if you think the debt is somewhat bad now, wait until you really  
start thinking about it.  The book is 183 pages long, and it's converted  
me in two days from a total environmentalist (I thought nothing was more  
important than saving the env. from man) into a scared and crawling mouse,  
not believing the problem I was ignoring because I thought economics was  
so boring.

Please become an activist and start worrying about the DEBT and the  
GOVERNMENT because I'm extremely scared, and if you don't do anything I'm  
afraid I'm gonna die in less than 3 years in a miserable world which is  
gonna have such a huge DEPRESSION that the US will cease to exist, and  
even the great Depression of the '30s will look like times of prosper.  I  
know how spoiled I am, and how much it will hurt if we actually come to  
realize the situation that Harry Figgie describes.  If nothing else, at  
least read the first chapter on The Week From Hell.  

Please DO IT IMMEDIATELY, I BEG YOU!!!!!!!!
