Yep I bet you have a very positive life. Aren't you proud when you reason with your pals and they listen? Telling the truth can be infectious. Telling the truth kinda intimidates some people. Before anyone thinks "intimidation" is a negative, bully type word... look it up in the dictionary. I rented the F 9/11 DVD and will now bounce out of here to watch it without having the folks in the theatre asking for me to move over 2 seats so that they're family of 6 popcorn munchers can all sit together. Just me and my HDTV and my dog this time. SiouxPal :•)

Thank you for that, it helps me stay sane. I'm honestly connsidering moving from Silicon Valley to Vancouver in about 4 years. I just am horrified by the unresolved and actually unfixable long-term problems the US economy faces. We have guaranteed to the baby boomers a completely unaffordable set of SS/Medicare benefits (total $100-150 trillion versus perhaps $30 trillion affordable). As a result, and also because of rapacious promotion of easy credit, the baby boomers haven't saved. Therefore, inevitably our standard of living is going to plummet over the next 20 years. Short form, a whole 100 million plus generation has been living high on its credit cards and within 10 years will be cut off by the rest of the world.
