Bob, we keep hearing from you how the wealthy will be fine in all this and
you are only concerned about the poor and downtrodden who will be effected.
Of
course, no one acutally believes this. You are scared sh*tless for your own
sake. Someone who can repair cars is going to do fine, if not for a (soon to
not exist) dealership, then under a shade tree. It's those ass-sitters
holding
onto their bags of air that about to take yet a further bump.

So I keep hearing. Back two or three years ago when I said that the way
things are going the rapidly rising real estate prices would stop rising at
the
very least and might come down, it was met by some with the same sort of
guffaws
you effect. Impossible! Couldn't happen! Foolish to think so!

And what happened??

Oh, Bob, and how would you know?

In this economic turn down let's take stock: I still have the same assets I
had five years ago. I haven't lost any cash, any value in any investment, in
fact my most important investments in increased greatly in value because they
are in real goods that I hold. Further, I have not been driven by my loses
to
a smouldering paranoia that "they" are out to get me, montitor my movements
and my transactions that would thwart my attempts to sulk off some where and
hide my assets where "they" can't find me.

Now with your superior financial knowledge, tell us how you are doing?

So we keep hearing. Now, point us to one, just ONE person you know who has
bought tools, grains, farmland with gold. It's hyperbole if not down right
science fiction. It is only what you and the paranoids think might happen if
there is a deep crash in the economy, but you have not one example of it ever
having happened like that.

This above is just too moronic for comment.

Bob, I might consider that from someone on a homestead list who is actually
homesteading, but not from an out of shape, ass-sitting, city boy who
wouldn't
survive on a farm for a week. I don't take critique about my financial views
from someone who admits he's lost half the value of his holdings and is
paranoid about the authorities finding out about the rest. The gazelle does
not ask
the pig how to run.

Now, continue to try to put me in my place and I will forget that I'm a
gentleman.
