Economic collapse is upon us
I remember being a kid when my parents had to go through a financial crisis. It was back in 2008 and it was caused by the American housing bubble. Back then I only felt it partly because my parents made sure that I and my sister were well-taken care of.

When Mel Gibson portrayed Francis Marion in the film "The Patriot" that portrayal was more like a Revolutionary duration Rambo than the true man himself regarded as The Swamp Fox.
