******  Lynn, I'll go out on a limb and put to paper, publicly, what I think 
will, happen, and what I fear might happen if the things I thnk will happen 
'do' occur.  Later, in 2009, you will all have a record with which to 
ridicule my errors.

1)  After Christmas, many stores, well known and obscure ; large city chains 
and small town icons, will close their doors, forever.  By the end of 
March,2009;  this will have occurred all over the country, and in some cities 
and towns, entire malls, and shopping centers will close and sit empty.

2)  Also, by the end of March, we will have seen at least a small, regional; 
but, maybe larger, unsceduled bank holiday, atm system failure, cash 
shortage/rationing.  

3) the price of gold (comex spot price) will have reached at least $1100, 
also by the end of March

4)  The Dem congress will at least 'attempt' some sort of anti gun, 
anti-ammo, legislation before the end of their first session; even though 
they have promised it is not even on their agenda.

5)  By the end of March, gasoline will be $1.25 average price per gallon, 
nationwide.  One analyst siad the lows were set this week, but I keep this 
prediction.

6)  Meat and canned vegetables will continue to drop in price, through the 
first of the summer of 2009, farmers will be slaughtering their herds because 
the prices don't warrant the cost of upkeep.

7) Almost everyone in the country will have a close family member to become 
unemployed, by the end of March, 2009.  That 'pain' will be felt, nationwide.

8)  The Dems will, rathetr than realizing things are not going their way, 
will keep 'doubling their bet' to try to get back into 'winning' status; the 
bail-outs will grow so large and so common that people stop paying 
attention,contnious for at least all of 2009.

9) By the end of 2009, most people's personal creidy, Credit cards, home 
equity loans, wha-ever, will be cut almost all together, unless they fall 
into newly created, government mandated, favored groups (just like tax 
deductions, today) social -engineering by monetary policy.

10)  When, BO's public works projects gets into full roll, the workers will 
demand union type rights and eventual classification as some sort of 
protected class of gov't employees, this within 2-3 years.

I'll add a few more later.  I am listing dates, so that you know when to poke 
fun................................
