This is a totally understandable and reasonable approach. In my opinion, what you've described here is prudence, as opposed to outright paranoia. My comments were directed toward those doom and gloomers who are "stocking up" on ammo, seeds, and farm land. This is paranoia at its best...

Tell me, when is the last time there has ever been a need for large supplies of food and ammo? Do you doom and gloomers really believe the USA is going to collapse and turn into a state of sheer chaos? Too many sci-fi movies... Reminds me of stories from the 50's about people who built bomb...

1. USA manufactures plenty. Still no jobs. 2. Technology and innovation WILL solve unemployment problems. In fact, technology and innovation are the ONLY things that will solve the unemployment problems.

Indeed. Which is why I firmly believe that timing is just as important as direction.

I'm sure Peil has a perfectly sound and logical explanation for this. :D

Where I live we have multiple Walmart stores that are open 24hrs/day. I can only imagine the quality of people in there at 3am.

This is the problem. The necessary statistics to judge whether the olympics was profitable or not are too complex to track and too subjective. For example, we know the olympics brought a bunch of people to BC, increasing tourism dollars etc. But how much of that was directly/indirectly due to...

Afford them? With our ageing population, we NEED them for economic growth.

One of my best friends is a huge Canucks fan, so it goes without saying, that I LOVE to see them lose! :p

Inflation is not terrible in moderation. If it gets out of hand, obviously, it becomes a major problem. But all else being equal, deflation must be avoided at all costs, especially for the USA. There can be no other way. If the country was a creditor, that would be a different story. But...

Congratulations - you have destroyed your credibility in your first month registered on ET! Don't worry, you are certainly not the first user to do this. Ego gets you nowhere. It is not easy "even for you" because you are not as smart as you think you are.

It is strange when you think about it. I am a huge Toronto Maple Leafs fan (please, spare the comments, I've heard them all). I am upset when they lose, and happy when they win. Not sure why, but it is what it is.

:D

I don't have anyone on my ignore list so I guess it's just a software bug.

I like ET's simple nature. It's not cluttered with millions of options, blinking lights, animations, etc. One gripe I have is with the "new post" icon feature, however. Often times I see the "new post" icon beside a thread so I click on it, only to find out that there has been no new posts...
