Tip, The Dow would be nowhere near 10,000 without the sheep buying for dumb reasons. Motivational speakers are the opiate of the crassest. <g> They are not there to tell the truth, but to extrapolate the present to infinity and to make everyone feel good that they are "special." Futurists are the same.
