We live in interesting times.?

Credit crunch curbing consumerism!. What will happen next? What shall we do when the money runs out? We, in the so called civilised countries, have had it easy, in the last 45 years (in the UK anyhow, - apart from Miners, Steel Workers,Trades Unionists etc etc) compared to some areas of the world....what happens now though....is it time for 'the good life'....do we all get a cow, learn to milk, and return to subsistence living? Repeal the enclosure act? Michty me...what next?
