Yes, I am. You know, people fear the depression, mostly because they have heard horrible stories about it. But look at the fact that the Great Depression lasted less-than 2 decades. That's 1/5 of a person's life. Yes, dark times do happen to humanity...but just like protecting your Son or Daughter from hurting their knees, when you protect everybody from the possible "bad times" due to people's poor decisions and apathy, you do no justice for humanity or even individual character. This is only the beginning. If you keep building a house of cards higher and higher, there's just more cards to fall when it does fall. It cannot be prevented, only delayed. Seriously think about the great depression....part of the debt created before the GD hit was to increase productivity.....don't you all think that any bailout is there to do the exact same thing? It'll work...for about a year. Then we'll have this same discussion...after the CEO's have opened their offshore accounts and moved to Sweden...... --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
