    I think anyone who goes in to a supermarket or fuel station to buy goods 'knows about it'; they just probably aren't aware of the technicals behind causing it.

    It's more a case of don't want to think about it

    Much like when they buy a chicken in Tesco, not many people like to think about how it got there even though we all know the facts.

    When someone gets a new credit card, if they thought about it properly they would realise that the brand new £ 4,000 limit was money 'created' by the 'alchemists' of the Banking world. But they don't, as they would rather not have to think about it. So they just go out and spend all this 'artifical' money and the cycle continues.

    looks like what i said months ago is becoming true. people will have to think about since the news is repeating it in their minds everyday.
