Thus, Europeans are afraid we will come on top and they will have to tow the line. Who is 'we,' Kemo Sabe? And what 'line' are they going to 'tow'? I think your Larouchian fantasies are getting the best of you. If I were European, I wouldn't worry too much so long as BRICs do stuff like interfere in the affairs of micro-states like Honduras in situations where no conceivable national interest is at stake. That kind of foolishness is no doubt very reassuring to Europeans.

>>Thus, Europeans are afraid we will come on top and they will have to tow the line. Not yet. Right now I perceive a second credit crunch/crisis unfolding -- we are being inundated by panicked calls from Hispanic immigrants who are experiencing fresh hells vis-a-vis credit cards and personal loans. In 2007 these people were the canaries in the coal mine, so, look out. And don't believe the people who tell you that the crisis is all over, it's safe to get back into the water. They're sharks. The world is, by and large, made up of people who are very trusting of other people who appear to be authority figures, and don't know how to read fine print or whip out a calculator. It's easy to jaw-jaw when talking about stocks or gold or anything else where the future is unknowable, but anybody ought to be able to calculate the bottom line on a car loan or a credit card. Almost all of us are suckers compared to people who make a living off of creatively inventing ways to screw others. We just don't think like that. Which makes us vulnerable.
