>Heretics Unite !  - James Howard Kunstler - 
Everybody has faith in something even Professor Kuntsler. Even though a person has been educated in the “best schools” does not mean they know anything of value. In my little bit of experience knowledge comes from listening a lot and talking only to ask questions. Then with that knowledge should follow wisdom as to how to apply the knew found knowledge. I have meet people who already knew everything, as they supposed, and didn't have a desire to learn anything new. If you want to learn something new you have to set side preconceived notions and prejudges. In other words if you think you know the answer to all question before you start asking any questions and do your best to see the your original idea is expressed in your findings then what is the sense in asking. Knowledge comes from having a willingness to accept the truth of any question no matter what the answer might be.
We have problems in our world now, as people have had in the past; notwithstanding we have more opportunities to turn things around then any age has ever had before us. The internet alone, which ranks right up there with the Gutenberg press in importance, will make a big difference in outcomes. Young people have never had a stronger desire for freedom and liberty than the current generation. Many things of the past, as the good professor has pointed out, can help us return to a better time.
We can choose to believe and have faith that the whole world has gone mad except us or we can have faith that people will choose to right the boat and charge ahead solving any and all problems as best they can. Where ever you put your faith won't really have a great effect in the final outcome because we aren't in charge. If you think your in charge then go right ahead an stop all the earth quakes and hurricanes.
However the purpose of life is to be happy and come hell or high water we are in charge of our own happiness and how we view our future.
