I told him, perhaps he's right, not only the way he thinks it will happen. Instead of tptb not airing it, they'll just simply pull the plug... Oh, oh, maybe that's why he's pushing so hard for Ron Paul? I scared a lot of people over there on BNB, but probably him the most. He did witness what happened in Japan, when there housing market collapsed there......<BR/><BR/>Preception of speculation? ha!<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-45644671947675567222008-03-16T19:16:00.000-07:002008-03-16T19:16:00.000-07:00We don't watch TV anymore at our house. Well, not ...We don't watch TV anymore at our house. Well, not unless the revolution gets televised. We put the TV in the furthest, coldest room of the house and watch movies on it, but not even that so much since we got a portable DVD player. It's amazing the difference it makes in the kids to not watch commercials. You know, they HATE to go to WalMart...too much junk. They would rather go to book stores or rummage sales.<BR/>Moving on.<BR/>I also wrote somewhere about the Perception of Perpetual Growth. It's the perception that runs up everything, not real growth. It's why a bear market is self-inducing as soon as anyone thinks there's a bear market.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-24004533722506182412008-03-10T17:10:00.000-07:002008-03-10T17:10:00.000-07:00Hello auntigrav!

The ten of Spades I, The Industrial Environment, I think, you'll like that..<BR/><BR/>Ok, I think you're right most, people can imagine decline. However, they cannot imgaine it in a way that you and I can. Whoa! eh?! Most people simply cannot imagine a scenario that doesn't include them. Yes, in denial even to the point, of drinking their last cup of water from the toliet tank....<BR/><BR/>Yup, really like the National Geographic. Really like their TV special, on what earth would be like without humans.... You gotta check this out! Especially, their thoughts about electricty and human departure.....<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-67249668549622575412008-03-08T15:06:00.000-08:002008-03-08T15:06:00.000-08:00Is this what you were referring to before that was...Is this what you were referring to before that was here for me?<BR/>Not bad. I just think that most people CAN imagine decline, but deny it as long as they are allowed, and also that the current culture is 3/4ths advertising-driven and the advertisers won't LET anyone think in terms of decline about anything.<BR/>The National Geographic, for chrissakes, is full of full-page glossy ads for SUVs in the same issues that talk about peak oil and climate changes. One of the most respected, serious venues in science, I think, and they can't find a better way to deliver their message. Sad, just sad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
