I am with you FA, I share your feelings and disgust. It's so crazy that I don't know where to begin, but you have covered a lot of ground. I consider us to be realists, they can call us what they want. I have recieved a permabear or liberal label a time or two just because I do not fall into line with the Ostrich Society. Hey, I am as bullish as the next guy when there's something to be bullish about. I call it like I see it and that tends to ruffle some feathers now and then, especially on the politics board. All I can say is that I am a simple mild mannered moose, but I am no fool and do not need to be hit between the eyes with a 2x4 to see what is going on. I have always enjoyed exchanging views with you as well, you have a good head on your shoulders FA, don't ever let anyone tell you differently.
