Why does this thread still call itself "collapse"? please! very inappropriate I would agree that it would be inappropriate to name a new thread in that way. However, as it stands not only did the name of the thread precede the disaster, but it was conceived in an entirely different spirit. Suggesting that it be changed is just the sort of knee-jerk political correctness that wastes so many resources and makes it so hard to get anything done in America. Perhaps your energies might be better utilized championing a more noble cause, like feeding the poor, housing for the homeless, education for the underprivileged, etc. I vote for keeping the current name.

AS the thread was created at a time that the terror acts weren't perpetrated. Now, we can't go changing the names of things just because we associate it with a tragedy. This is very dangerous way of thinking. Continue in this way of thinking, it would lead to acts against other by making them 'guilty by associaton'. Investors are people who act on facts. Being them good, positive and productive, as well as, bad, negative and conter-productive. We mus be able to separate this from our feelings that go without saying what we feel. We don't need to express it in every act we do.
