Bummer. Oh well, I'm off to make some changes...

OOO boy, I was wearing yellow and gray at the slide show a couple months ago. What does that say about me?! At least ChrisT thought I looked handsome.

Yeah, I was up at Steamboat close to the first of the year and they had plenty and got lots more after I left. Once we went east over Rabbit Ears Pass it got progressively dryer till Boulder and the Springs which were frickin' high plains deserts. Hope you get another eight foot springtime dump this year!

Yikes!

He's back

Is it snowing there yet Ducknut?

That or _________ got a hold of his password

HAHAHAHAHHAHA He must have blown a valve from all that gas...

I say let him stay there another fours years so he can be present when the crows come home to roost. It was entertaining to watch Reagan and Clinton unravel at the end of their respective second terms.

as much as on one hand this is totaly true... it brings to mind an Everclear song "you have never had the joy of a welfare Christmas" Yeppers Muffin, that is a very good song. Money frees us and traps us at the same time. Be aware.

Heads up! Doctorb is starting to decompensate

money is not wealth Speaking of money, time to get back to work! Thanks for evaporating a few billable hours with me...

I would like to see capitalism recognize the health of communities, the people and ecosystem, as wealth.

Kind of like the final conflict, Armegeddon, Ragnok.... Nostradamus, the bible etc., I think, are just following the less desirable traits of human nature to their ugly conclusions

Wealth as I understand it is raw materials combined with labor to make something useful. Money is created when people borrow it. More simply put, money is a means to repay debt because there isn't enough raw materials and labor to do so. Basically Greenspan is saying that the emperor is wearing no clothes when he say things like "Irrational Exuberance". Of course, he used to read a lot of Ann Rand too.

Oh, it will be a patchwork quilt with a couple tears in it to be sure but governments all over the world have already signed on the dotted line. I feel that capitalism is going to have to change to embrace community based principals and goals.

Mars needs 'em.

Finally, the three G's Way to get to the kernal

We should hold our sacrifices a little more sacred is what I am thinking. A cow doesn't think it is winning when it get the zap. It would serve us to rethink what "return on investment" means and how it looks.

Yeah, I don't think that we'll see it in our lifetime, but we can help it along it's way. I think the corporations and global capital will go along way to unifying the world. I just hope the model gets more positive and life oriented.

I'll definitely take the sunshine and rock part about now! This weather is getting to be a drag

Scott, I hope you're not right but that is a strong possibility. Certainly seems to be the the current picture.

I wish you would invite me over some Trask, sounds like fun. Scott, I am not naive. It won't be easy and probably not in our life time. We are pretty divided as a people. There will be a lot of pain and suffering to come. My cousin spent a lot of time and money helping out kids in the inner city and was shot and killed when some grown up ones felt he had something they wanted. It has completely fucked my family up.

It sucks being scared of outsiders. I finally put my bullets in storage. But I live on an Island, and I can see them coming.
