So in your sea-swamped opinion, why cannot "Shrub" turn off the GPS if
a terrorist attack is imminant?

No luck needed at all, Brian.

I never said he "cannot turn off the GPS".

After all, he's in charge and has wide lattitude to do pretty much
whatever he
decides to, including some stupid things. This would be one of those
stupid
things. Par for the course, like his stupid notion of turning SS over to
Wall
Street.

Hello, Hans

Just so some might appreciate the problem with "privatization", New York
State started a deal where you could invest money to be used for your kids'
education. Not a savings account; this had to be "invested". They had a
nice thing going.

A lot of ordinary folks jumped right on the bandwagon. After the company I
worked for stopped their "fund d" and everything became chance.

Wow! The stock market was really rising! (yep, like a pyramid, you get a
lot of folks to invest, stocks go up). Over time, of course, stock tends to
go up, but a lot of new accounts ... a few of the guys at work were bragging
how many grand they made "last month". One guy (from Vietnam) took a hard
look and bailed out and moved it all into low producing accounts. Needless
to say, the tech stocks tanked, just about everyone investing in that New
York State thing lost a good portion of what they invested .... and if you
check, you find some folks (especially the folks that knew what was
happening) bailed. Some did very well (perhaps illegally), some did well
just not to loose anything (like the guy at work I mentioned earlier). And
a lot more ordinary folk lost.

Why has gambling become the method of choice for making money? Everyone
around here wants more gambling. Creates jobs.

As to the stock market, it is like walking into a poker game. If you can't
spot the fish, guess what?
