Where lies security and sanity?

Not in pieces of paper or shiny objects for damn sure.

How about a functioning social system that includes a concern for the Public Good? How about an economic system that doesn't steal everything from the 98% to give to the 2%?

And so on.

(But, then, you know this.)

Indeed! All we need is to break the current power of a massively failed financial sector. Just that. :-)

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
