I expect the worlds economy will recover and I think it will truely collapse at some point and I'm sure the DOW and the gold price will cross again and yes we will become extict. In which order these things happen I have no idea but I think I'm safe in saying extinction will be the last of them to happen. Something else I was told by another wise person. Optimists have more fun but pesimists are more often right. Harry you are such a optimist.

This is what caused the financial crisis of today, the savings and loan scandal of the late 80's, the dotcom bubble of the late 90's and, a perfect example of the raping of America by greedy lowlifes...the Enron fiasco.

So, what does Wall Street do after it's reprieve? They blow up the US economy for the terrorists. Imbeciles.

Freely pursuing your desires is not freedom if your desires are determined by inherited and learned conditioning! 60% of westerners are overweight to the point where their health is affected - they fulfill their desires every day - are they free? They are slaves to their desires. Politicians promise security, but submitting to the dumb, instinctive urge for security is slavery. Being free of the urge for security IS security! Freedom is a personal responsibility, governments can't help you with it. America is called, “The Land of the Free” – but what is freedom?
