I belong to other forums that are hobby specific and they dont seem quite as reluctant to post up topics that are probably of interest to many of us even if off focus for that particular forum.

There are many smart people here I admire and enjoy spending time with. Escapism is ultimately what many of us come here for but to ignore something that really impacts all of us seems kinda silly. Its on our minds... we may as well talk about it.f

Kinda how alcoholism and credit counseling aren't really discussed here either... many of us have known each other too long to pretend...

My best wishes go out to all who are impacted in some way by this irrational state of affairs...

a faltering economy is a self fulfilling prophecy.... especially when consumer spending accounts for so much of our economic prosperity.

its all a shame.
