Oh, believe me, I talk about it to anyone who will listen. But, it mostly falls on deaf ears. People seem to have this uncanny ability to believe what they want to believe, see what they want to see, regardless of facts. That's a large part of what's got us in to this pickle, everyone believing they could live like millionaires on credit. Sometimes I think a really nasty Depression is the best thing that could happen to us. It might knock some sense into people and make them appreciate that one is not owed a happy life. You have to work for it and that work is good not evil. That a bunch of crap made in China won't buy you happiness.
