Since that in itself tells me nothing about how I can obtain and use to undestand whatever you may supply to my inquiry, so I must look for something that tells me that you will not supply such feedback as in a Bon Beece cut & paste manner that presents an illusion of "stick to the bones" food for thought, but results only in exercising to the max a bowel movement. As for TheBird, well he seems to be one needing a constant supply of not Self but from Others, Glorification of Greatness. So as such, his posts and replies have that as an agenda, not Truth etc. Thus, a grain of salt needed along with an understanding that he is extremely smart and insightful and just like Bon Beece, a good honest person with "baggage". In my opinion Hutch would be a "Best" source, but as he has no agenda other than to match whatever the markets puts out for him to interact with in his goal to accomplish to a good result his profession job and personal wealth, this prevents Hutch from touching my "what if" question. Now the good news for me, as you Richard are like Jack Webb in the role of Det. Joe Friday on tv program Dragnet, that was for folks under 50 of age a cop show of Good v Bad, no agenda except corruption manipulation etc is criminal. ok, now the question, to that post you gave today. Wow, big day, another doom & gloom report: Iran calls for attacks on Israel Special to World Tribune.com MIDDLE EAST NEWSLINE What If = In the next days or few weeks before November that area boils over to include all regions there to make a stand that peace & living together is dead and the only task now is to protect attack revenge defend etc. The price of oil will rise I hear, and if it went to $50+ how long would it take to show up as inflation for USA folks, with one example being the gasoline at the pump for the car fill up? doug
