42. Oh, forgive me. I thought you were a "gloom and doomer."
You're not that.

You're one of those "apocalyptic" types.

Gee, France is doing just fine after that revolution, now, aren't they? I was there not too long ago. They managed to get over it, you see. Shit does happen. Some people (not all) are bad. Wars do occur. Sure, we'd prefer they didn't, but we're still evolving.

I'm not "bully(ing) on behalf of last year's platitudes" or claiming superior knowledge. My posts aren't full of secret wisdom, they're simply a recitation of obvious facts. The market is not a myth, but I don't "worship" it either. It simply IS.

You go wait for the world to end, if that's what floats your boat. I think humans are much, much smarter than you, evidently, credit them. I think they're capable of solving problems and bettering their lives and the lives of future generations.

My glass is half full, you've knocked yours over, apparently, and spilled all the contents. Not much hope of discussion, given that gulf in viewpoint.

Have a nice day! Do have the last word if you'd like. It's apparently important to you.

:hi:
