A Woo Woo Hippy Dippy Solution

All we need to defeat this creeping totalitarianism and simmering violence is this:
If at all times you can remember to do so, deliberately make yourself feel a feeling of peace.  Whether to you this is praying, or meditation, or just holding a feeling, it does not matter.
Get others to do this too.
A hundredth monkey effect will ensue, and your area will also be more peaceful.
We are all connected.  It will only take just maybe one person in 10,000 to do this.
I know this sounds hippy dippy, but just try it.  Try it now.
Maybe then the death of the dollar won't matter so much, if people are peaceful to one another.

That being said, also prep.  Where's your water? Where's your garden?
Peace-out
