Alright, I'll read it. The next sound you will hear is the sound of an
Anchor Steam opening (bottles only), and my arse indenting the couch.
My remark above was aimed at those who can take a perfectly good discussion and start pointing fingers with the notion that it will solve anything. It was not a sigh about the topic. I believe I stated several months back, in a fit of moral rightness, that America would go the route of Rome and I wanted out. I do still believe that we will be our own undoing, or that revolution will take us down from within, but I know I won't be around to see it, and my son might not either. I wanted out then, and still do today, because of the moral decline. But that may not be limited to this country, and could well be worse in others. As can be said of the "market" thread, the sky is falling here too. Its all how you look at it, eh?
I ordered the cliff notes for the article on the heroes thread, and will reply shortly. Other than that, all I can say is don't eat grapes while you drink beer (blech!), stick to the chips.
