All countries just "happen"...
Like England -- amazaingly it sprouted up one day and was. And the United States! Just appeared on the map and *bang* it was there! Complete with a great economy and judicial structure! WOW!
Okay, that was a little thin, but still folk -- WORK WITH THE LINDEN'S! We are all part of a new economy and world structure. Unlike TV and Movies, happiness will not materialize in 30 - 90 minutes, and most assuredly unlike TV, this week on "SL: Live" is not the "Most Important Episode You've Ever Seen!"
Give it a break. Reel your lines back in. This is another small, for the course episode in the turmoil of a new world. By blowing it out of proportions, you *may* make a name for yourself, but you are actually just hurting everyone else.
I believe that we should see how it works out, then make our voices known afterwards. To put it in full perspective, your voice on a forum matters little; but your dollar matters a lot. Unfortunaetly, if 1000 people are lost because of a change to the economy, and that same economy benefits all and brings another 5000 users, who is going to cry about your loss?
Surely not LL. They do care, but what runs a business: warm fuzzies or USD?
