Just a note-
I did not intend to label Dave's stuff as doomerism. He is right on the money most of the time.
Oh- and no drones to my fellow commenters- unless you are uncivil like my evil rightwing Catholic brother-in-law who has just been accepted for SSI Disability after spending his whole life decrying BIG Government as a vicious social conservative. Then again its pretty standard for the tough conservatives to grab for the gubbermint welfare money whenever they can get a hold of it.
