so looking back on this thread I was involved 10 years ago and my premise is the same.........I still trust the US dollar and am still trying to stack $100 bills they just won't buy as much..........I'm 46 and I figure it my lifetime I will not see the total crash of Western Society but they for sure are making things a little harder these days........of course childhood huddles up in some shack in Minnesota and seems to have no responsibilities or people he cares for or people that care for him........he claims he is good with it but does seem lonely especially on those cold nights
