TJ, it doesn't matter what you used to think, or wrote you thought, whether it was true or not. We all change our minds, or should do when new ideas and facts and situations arise. So I will not call you a flip flopper, cretin or moron. It's you who likes to denigrate in such insults.
Perhaps you really do think you haven't changed your mind. That's fine. Do you think you haven't changed your mind? Is it as solid as concrete, unchanging with the winds of change and the tides of time?
One of the main reasons I'm in SI is to see what different people think, know, and how that changes so that I can change my mind really quickly as needs be, such as when I bailed on a Tonka Truckload of QCOM when I decided that we really were going to see a deeper bottom in the Biotelecosmictechdot.com plunge than I had expected - my broker when I told him [at the peak] how far I thought the plunge would be, thought I was off my rocker - I told him Globalstar had to be able to go to zero and QCOM to $50 and I should still be happily sailing along. At $65, I decided that $50 might not be the low point, helpfully persuaded in part by an unmentionable person.
There's no shame in changing minds. It should be done as rapidly and frequently as one is able to cope with the onslaught of information flooding in from all corners of Cyberspace.
I see you changed yours, or perhaps admitted parallel universes into being - two contradictory things simultaneously being true. There's no shame in that either = heck, even the cosmos is breaking its own gravitational rules and accelerating its expansion. The cosmos is inside a black hole and escaping it simultaneously, which is fortunate for us as it's obviously not all bad inside black holes. Not for everyone anyway.
Iceland sailed through a financial black hole and has emerged in good condition. Perhaps Greece, Ireland, other piggs, and maybe even the USA can do the same thing, with some gravitational adjustment in expectations from creditors to debtors [who happen to wield a lot more votes than do the creditors].
I'm not confident that an electorate armed with 20,000 hydrogen bombs and Predators circling the sky, will feel obliged to pay my loan when I demand payment of principal and interest. Well, forget the interest - they have already cut that to zero% = not even a Happy Meal.
