Wednesday, Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso said:

"Japan cannot avoid the tsunami of the world recession, but it can try to find a way out."

"The world economy is in a once-in-a-hundred-years recession. We need extraordinary measures to deal with an extraordinary situation," he said.


Huh? How do they know this happens once every hundred years? Didn't this just happen in Japan like fifteen years ago? And if it happens every hundred years why didn't world financial leaders expect this to happen? They're acting like this is a natural occurring phenomenon in nature, kind of like El Nino or hurricane season. You expect me to trust the words of the same arrogant assholes that got us into this mess in the first place? If they were so fucking smart they should have seen this coming a mile away, but they didn't. Now they're claiming it's just "something that happens once every hundred years". Sounds like one big fuck up that happened as a result of human arrogance and greed.

Well, at least the world falling apart will clean the slate for real change. Things fall apart for a reason-in order to create real, lasting change things have to be destroyed first. You can't fix a intrinsically broken system by working within the broken system. Our system is on its last legs. The machine is about to break, for good. Humanity must evolve its way of thinking, its economy, its politics -- everything -- if it plans on surviving. Good riddance. Let the world fall apart. Hells a coming and payback is a bitch, especially when rents way over due.

It's all 20/20 in hindsight. Too bad none of these fools had or have any real foresight.
