I love you too, OCM.
Insurance lifesavers are usually minty-fresh, like birthcontrol pills.
In the modern world, financial edifices are zealot-proof. Destruction of the WTC on 9/11 did no direct harm to anyone's savings. The recession that followed did, but I honestly think that the event was merely a trigger for something that would have happened soon anyway.
Money? It will be here in some form or another for my lifetime. I may be spending credits on a starship if the authors are to be believed, but it will most likely be dollars at the 7-11.
