If we had begun work on the problem 10 years ago, we might have. We have now reached the point in time in which it serves little purpose to cast about for recriminations. Later, there will be time to study the issue of why things went the way they did, and how we could do it better in the future. During any stressful time it is important to keep a positive approach . It is important to understand that most people respond courageously and honorably during disasters.
People do tend to pull together.
Acts of civil disobedience are rare in disasters, even as those rare events are reported on and widely broadcast. It is only when people feel that they have been betrayed, that civil disobedience occurs. We don't know what will happen. The best, most intelligent thing we can say is that we believe that most major industries and most industrial countries will be largely unaffected. Financial institutions and all major corporations have been taking the problem seriously.
