[QUOTE="longnine009, post: 31362, member: 1886"]Yes Catman, it's the archives express. What do suppose would happen if market grading collapsed tomorrow? Now I can see all the eyes out there rolling around and hear all the snickers. But the market grading system is just that--a system. Systems are order, authority and central control. The world has been trending in that direction for 500 years and now "times up." It's been up, IMO, since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Was there ever a bigger system than that? Chaos and deviance check and attack order/authority/central control and especially status quo. You can believe that humpy dumpty was thrown off that wall by the barbarians scaling it. They probably went to his house after that and drank up all his beer. So what happens when a system collapses? It doesn't just vanish into thin air. It becomes something else, just as the former Soviet Union did. However, it can't go back to what it was or they'll just throw humpty dumpty over the side again. It has to adapt and arrange itself to a new way. Now...where do suppose they would get their ideas from to build a new grading system if it were to collapse tomorrow? From the archives and from memories of people who read the posts of a couple of thousand dissenters of market grading.[/QUOTE]
