Peter.....I daresay that very few have followed FASC as closely as I have. I have done thousands of hours of research here, tieing together information from hundreds if not thousands of sources. I don't get swept up in any sweeping generalizations from any side.
This is all very, very real, and we are now in a growth situation.....which through the above research, I thought would be coming all along....if not later than originally thought.
I wouldn't still be here after 12 years if I felt any differently....and during my busy season, no less.
But don't take my word for it. Do your own continual digging and research, if you truly want to find your own answers to any questions you may have.
