lol he must be a "feel good" hit at parties !! Some of his no brainer predictions might actually come true. But his go-out-on-a-limb, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it probably won't. The world economy will be fine this year unless Italy implodes. I see Europe fending that off until 2013 maybe ? As for civil war in places like Greece -- seriously ? Massive civil unrest maybe but not civil war. Chris
