  Looking forward to your return, Shelby. Best wishes from this end of the spectrum.

  Sometimes when you just pop into JWN it feels like stepping into a fourth dimension or something, y'know? Either that or like stepping into an asylum.

  i'm an atheist, my wife's a jehovah's witness.

  each of us knocks on your door and has something to sell to you.

  it's up to you to choose.

  The real Big A - the writing on the wall

  what's happening geologically recently seems to be bringing out the sandwich boards and doomsday proclaimers.

  signs of the end of the world?

  not likely, at least not in the scriptural sense.

  Same one as you, Estephan, except my feet are planted firmly on it.

  No, it will not be the end of the world. It will only mean that things are going to cost more. With oil over $100 a bbl, things are already starting to cost more because freight costs have gone up, and everything you buy has to be freighted from where it is manufactured or grown to where you buy it. So buy it now if you have some cash and while it has greater purchasing power. If, for example, you are convinced that food prices are going to go up over the next couple of years more than the interest rate the bank will pay you, it makes sense to stock up on non perishable food as the better investment (and better than waiting for the Rapture to whisk you safely away.)

  It could very well be that government will pull some kind of rabbit out of a hat, but at the moment it's difficult to imagine what that might be. It may be best to hedge your bets.

  Thanks, darth. Quite the story.

  A documentary worth watching is "Inside Job", which won the Oscar for best feature length documentary this year. It explains how a bunch of people got filthy rich while millions lost everything, causing the 2008 economic collapse. Bad things can and will happen in the economy. Best be at least a little prepared for them.

  War is unthinkable to most people, slimboyfat, but war has been visited personally on a great many. It's been close to eight decades since war visited the UK and a century and a half (if you discount Pearl Harbor) since it devastated America. But it's been a lot more recent in other countries, to a large extent because the UK and America launched wars of liberation. It would be a messy situation if the US and China went toe-to-toe.
