paul,

My experience in observing the nature
of what creates things we use words like
hate, fear, disorientation, repulsion
and disbelief represent our awareness
to the existence of that which is counter
to what we know is needed for survival.

Joining many cliches together
i can position them like pieces
of a zigsaw puzzle, and display
an explaination that may serve
as an answer to the following.

<<...completely puzzled is the lease rates.
They have been falling as of late which indicates
no supply tightness.>>

Please Note: nothing exact here, just loose sayings

"Caught between a rock and a hard place."
"Short term survival techniques may guarantee survival lost."
"Caught in an incorrect situation a person will act incorrectly."
"Awareness of one's denial of reality can exist."
"Cornered, the lesser of two evils may not be chosen."

My impression obtained from reading a massive amount
of doom and gloom commentaries at the Le Metropole Cafe
is that the disaster they talk about has already happened
long time ago and the damage has been replaced through
a long and painful recovery period, or if not this,
then they are wrong since with this much wrong and bad
and completely off balanced stuff, for example,
if we were riding in a car that had this many things
wrong with it, then we would see smoke and fire and
bumps and loud noises all around us.

Yes ok, but really no if the ones who were the mechanics
of this car that did a poor job in maintence are really
very good at their job, but they decided to experiment
or try non standard methods or simply lost their way
or simple were con'ed by others to do the wrong thing.

If so, these mechanics that are very smart and skilled
and have excellent tools and methods are able to keep
what is a total disaster running "on borrowed time."

The car will crash, and infact what you observe
as the car normally riding down the highway at
a safe and easy pace is in fact out of control,
but you are unaware of this and the mechanics
know this, but they are hoping something will
change reality. You have you foot on the gas
doing posted 55 mph(1?? kph in Canada) and
smoothly gliding down this long straight road,
but unknowned to you is that the fuel pump
is stuck at this rate of gasoline delivery
to the engine, the steering wheel is stuck
and can not steer different than straight,
and the brakes lost all oil and no work,
and last but most decisive to clue you in
to the reality keep hidden from you by those
mechanics of our global economic markets,
is that X miles ahead this road ends
and a sharp right turn at low speed is need
and if not done, then its crash time "into a wall."

Questions to ask.

(1) how many miles is X
(2) at this speed the time to travel X miles is what
(3) BIGGIE = how much gasoline is in tank

So, a soft slowing down to a safe stop is possible.

<<...lease rates. They have been falling
... indicates no supply tightness.>>

To me its just the manipulators
willing to lose pennies on a lease,
knowing that it might keep price of gold down,
where a price in gold up
will cost then a "pretty" penny.

lose a penny to prevent a dollar lost
act not to save, but to lose
lessor of 2 evils
rock and hard place
