I totally agree with you that we're in a huge financial mess and that what's lacking at the leadership levels is a radical solution along the lines of the break that FDR made from his own class to prevent a revolution in this country in the thirties and to restore the foundations of capitalism.
About the rise of gold, I've been reading about that for years. May or may not happen. [Aside from HippoParamus - thanks Rex, that was conclusive, indeed!]
I'm not sure if I told you, but from 2002 to 2004, I was, for the first and last time in my life, intensely political. I protested the impending war in Iraq, I started a blog that offered media analysis and political commentary (1,400 unique viewers a month from all over the world, a request to publish on other sites and personal contact with some of the authors whose books I reviewed), and I devoured research material on a variety of topics such as oil, terrorism, American history, espionage, media politics - you name it.
Ultimately, I began to get burned out on that but I also realized that politics is a superficial layer in the greater equation. What was needed on my part (the personal) was to face my own fears, drives, and habits and what was needed globally (the trans-personal) was a fundamental transformation of consciousness. These things will not occur through politics but will impact political outcomes.
