My point was that if you justify sitting your ass in front of your TV , hunckering down and not sticking your head up because "you've got it pretty good", is a sure way to garuntee you will eventually lose all that you have.

Oh, well yeah.
the only people that are going to "Keep what they have" are the super rich. And only because they've had gas prices and everything else crazy high on us, and they've been buying all our gold for cheap.

This is like the British red coats, and higher class. Instead of "RedCoats" being dicks, it's the "Red Ties".

End corporate personhood! I believe that is what is at the root of the disease in our financial systems and with capitalism in general. When corporations and businesses won the same rights that an individual has in this country, the balance was suddenly shifted in favor of big business. Individual rights are what this country was founded on! No taxation without representation. But in this world where big business has taken over running our government from behind the scenes with their lobbyists and contrubutions to politicians and campaigns they sponsor in every election cycle with their deep pockets - guess what? That's exactly where we are-again-full circle. Big business controls the government and decides who gets elected, what laws get passed and on and on...Bottom line - we (the american people) are totally out gunned because they are taking all our money and using it against us. The Republicans want to talk about how higher taxes for the wealthy amounts to a transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. What to you think just happened? A transfer of wealth - from the poor to the rich!
I am all for Occupy and the message it is sending. Protest, March, shut down the Banks, move all your money to a credit union (had all my 4 with them for 20+ years) - BUT NO VIOLENCE!!! Self defense is ok, but why damage small businesses that are innicent or cause people to be injured - it is not necessary and it discredits the movement. Kudos to all the occupiers who are putting their lives on hold and their comfort level aside to get the message across!

History always repeats itself. This has happened hundreds of times exactly the same way, throughout history. Massive income inequality always leads to massive unrest. All empires/civilizations follow the same basic 3 step cycle; Revolution - Apathy - Enslavement repeat. We do not learn from history because our history is written by the victor.

BUT...
We are entering a new age. An age NOT governed by slavery and such, as was Pisces (The last age). The new way of rule, shouldn't work out the same as the past mellinias.

Read the Rig Veda. Greek Myth. Any REAL religion. And they know this has to happen. Things do not stay the same.
They used metaphors to describe it to the "Regular people" but "The Titan's" "The God's" They are all just representative of natural phenomenon.

And thats what everyone always says at the time. We are not in a new age. We are in the current age. We are not special, advanced, new age beings. We are humans, enslaved in a tightly controled and tightly owned civilization, just like we always have been.

Currently we are entrenched in the Apathy stage. Many people are apathetic and would just like to hide and not make a stink and get mad at people for speaking out. They are doing irrational things like hurting themselves in order to protect the interests of others and getting mad at people for fighting for their interests.
Apathy always leads to enslavement.

You're confused about what an age is...

It's no different than an earth year, but in sun terms.

We are in a new branch of the galaxy. Or heading into it RIGHT NOW (meaning in the next 100 years or so). But we will see small strides the entire time.

The 2011 model of a car, will be different than the 2012. But we won't see ALL the new gadgets, and shit for 2012, until we have lived IN 2012.

Same goes for ages.

The age of Pisces WILL be different from the age of Aquarius.
But we won't see it all until it all unfolds. We may see a couple things, like how they get the 2012 model cars READY in 2011. But we won't see EVERYTHING until it has all happened. (Over thousands of years)

Astrology has no bearing in reality dude. Astrology is just as much bullshit as religion is. What are you really trying to say?

It's not simply astrology. It's a "History" as well.

The Rig Veda (Hindu) which is the first human text, and other REAL religions that talk about natural phenomenon NOT just "Astrology" or "God".

What I was trying to say, If you read. Was that this time the change will not turn to slavery. THAT was the last age. The last 20,000-100,000 years or something were governed by that.
But that is about to be over.
