Ho boy. Glad I said in advance I was not going to respond to whatever you had to say. If I did respond, we'd certainly go on for at least another hundred off topic posts and never get anywhere, at all. Now, back to Skype, shall we? Great!!!

Similarly, I don't think they'll be owning Microsoft any time soon. Or Google. Or lots of other things. They will likely own a lot of real estate, but I imagine they'll sell that at auction as prices start dropping and mortgagor backing becomes inadequate. I doubt they want to own real estate, other than to recover their loans. Here is where TJ is right - if bernanke zooms up the printing press - other nations will most likely follow - so all currency everywhere will go into the inflation in different degrees - and what he says about inflation of everything you need - and deflation of everything you already have - also good possibility - here where you beating him hard against the ropes however holding qcom over lump of metal. Coconut his daughter gonna want and need air, water, food, shelter, Cell Minutes, Mobil cell Tv, communication with her friends all over the world by voice, video, or text and some nice ANF jeans and a new car with built in cell phone bluetooth wifi type technology. She will want and NEED these things before lump of metal - so therefore if the printing presses really start zooming - those things are what will go up in PRICE in response to the inflation and hordes of currency chasing those things - there is a reason Verizon got added to Dow stocks recently. The helicopter money will go into consumer staples - that is all that is left for it to chase after you have inflated every other non consumed asset. Once you have the house you will still need food and water, energy and cell minutes that you consume EVERY DAY. Fundamental part of life - this cell phone and all the other technology that fosters virtual society and global communication. Stocks of these things that people will need or want no matter the price will also go up in relation to how fast presses print dollars. I predict if TJ's daughter starts going into rank poverty she will at a minimum give up the car and ANF jeans, but still gonna need the air, some food and water, and DEPERATELY need her cell phone or internet to talk to her friends all over the world how poor she is and how bored she is and how TJ farting out the popcorn and prune juice stinking up the house again. Now I meet crack head who dont eat for long time or drink water and have nothing but thier sex to sell most of the time - but many desperately require use and need of CELL PHONE to call drug dealer - legal or criminal - cell phones and virtual societies are BIG in our future. Now SI creeping down the dark path however - they have IGNORE feature individual paying members can use - but they still want Emporer Palpatine global IGNORE power taking the control AWAY from the individual and putting it back into central power monger = VERY BAD. This does not give the people that WANT to read maurice or talk to him and share ideas a CHANCE to do so becaue the ban is UNIVERSAL for all if he is banned - bad bad bad. I don't even understand purpose of INDIVIDUAL ignore feature if you are going to ban someone completely wether individual users want to talk to person or no. This what makes chat boards and messengers so great - you can ban someone from spreading their meme to you if YOU dont like it - central authority not have to do the thinking and banning for you - this empowers the individual. Now more fundamentally on freedoms - should it be mine and your mission to seek out citizens all over the world that do things we have documented empirical proof are bad for us or even themselves and bend them to the right mindset using force? If man in Utah is working a 9 year old in a factory that is illegal - but in china it can be legal - should the chinese man come over to the USA and make it legal like his country does? Founding fathers made it IMPERATIVE that you have ability to FLEE if your ideas not agree with other peoples ideas - but in the globalized world of the future - where can you FLEE too? How do you determine where we draw the line in GLOBAL society?
