1. While the truth may be alarming,

it is also comforting to know that some people are dedicated to spreading the word.

Maybe some people will hear this and actually realize what is happening. If enough Americans do, we can turn this ship around. It will be bumpy and we will hear a lot of (at least) grumbling from the "first class" section, but it is our only hope.

2. Chris is correct

our future is bleak, who will take on the MIC??

3. I think it's past what I call flash point, a point where a return is not

possible without a disintegration first. Maybe after Saturday we won't have to worry about it.

The free ride of abundant cheep oil is starting to wind down,. and this is a good thing.
