confidence of a Titanic's captain

Well, that is precisely it. Joe and Jane public fuel the economy. Are they being advised how to "stay in business" during a very (almost a certainty imho) probable bigger down turn?? I think not. "Can't advise a spending slowdown" seems to be the fashion on the financial waters these days...full speed ahead. Light up that last boiler...

So instead of making all things ship shape... battening down the hatches until a real glimpse of a recovery, the public are advised to leave all the watertight doors open and take on more deck cargo.

The next actions are well known... the announcement of an "iceberg ahead"...the immediate order for reversal of engines...just enough to stop the linear flow of water over the rudder thus rendering it useless, chaotic manoevering into a big lump of ice... the rivets popping on the No.12 bulkhead ..etc ...Maybe much of this has already happened...

I guess on the CFZ we play the role of the musicians -g- Our chairs are nicely arranged on the promenade deck, we have our music sheets neatly pinned on the rest in front of us.. Ready to play out some old tunes for the passengers who make it on deck...an amusing diversion while more serious business is about. Most of us will go down with the ship too, just we don't admit to realising it yet..At least we will show a little style though... some proficience, some organization, and fully aware of the score.. -g-
