Are people losing interest?

We have just lived through a month when the long expected financial meltdown was happening before our very eyes. This event has long been heralded as the start of the slide and together with the information from Half Past Human, Bill Deagle and to a lesser extent the Blossom Goodchild story and suddenly this slide had a date attached...we were actually going to have these huge changes happening right now.

There will be those who out of curiosity joined to 'see what all the fuss was about', the sort of person who won't actually admit they believe but all the same want to be on the 'winning side', and those whose beliefs are so shallow that at the first hurdle they think 'I knew it was all a crock'.

Personally I think the important word mentioned many times recently is fear. There was a genuine sense of fear that we were on the verge of troubled times. Fear of the unknown and fear for what were were leaving behind.

I think we will all live through many many false alarms before THE day arrives. I just hope we are not so used to the false alarms by then that we just ignore it.
