Bush has promised his economic plan will addd one trillion dollars of evaluation to market this year. The hard fact they MUST get that to happen as the U.S. Government has based out entire economic health on a corrupt/rotten and criminal system, that being the stock market. The futures are fading some from that initial surge which may be indicating the WORST POSSIBLE scenario(but one the country is doing its' best to make happen) , and that being, that by a relentless policy of let's lie and deceive to perserve the system the public will in the end come to reject it as it comes to recognizing the government does not represent the people but is a structure to maintain the power over the populace for the power groups that rule it; and yes we are an Oligarchy and Democracy was shot thru the head a long time ago. As i live in a town of perhaps one person per 100 acres,(our population is 1,000) and which has a very active town hall with a town meeting and runs itself and which has no police and has not had a robbery in 3 years and people many don't lock their doors and all wave and say " hi, how are you" sincerely, and who trust one another; and yes i live in an anomaly. BTW, when now and then a person is found to be not trustworthy, they must leave, they know that; and they do leave(there has been about 3 cases in the past 15 years). Well anyway we look out at this world via our Satellite Dishes and just shake our heads, we facking know what is going down, we are not cattle where i live and that is why i chose to live here. Thomas Paine would love my town. Max
