...and everyone thought I was crazy running my chicken bartering business on the side.

You'll have a heavy advantage when we're all waiting in soup lines. Yours will be the most flavoricious.

I've seen The Economy and they're not too bad. The drummer is mostly solid but every now and then he misses a beat. This wouldn't be a huge problem but whenever it happens, the guitarist completely loses track of everything and turns a normal skipped beat into a total catastrophe. Then the singer stops singing and starts screaming, into the mic, at both of them. Really disrupts the natural flow of things.

Bull was a pretty good album but they went downhill with Bear.

I checked MSN.com at lunch and the down was down around 650 points, I read a story, and refreshed the front page, back down 730 points. I hate to see what it is now...

Nailz, I recommend you staying off the left wing, BS websites. You're not going to be standing in a soup line. Our country will pull through this like it has before.

No flavoricious chicken soup? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
You clearly missed the sarcasm.

Anyway, I think we're pretty much seeing the effects of a world economy collapse. And frankly, I don't think this is anything other than a market correction. For too long, American's have been spending WAY beyond their means. It was bound to catch up to us sooner or later, we're just seeing it come to a head now. People owe too many companies too much money. As soon as that debt is reduced, either by paying it back or it being forgiven, I think things will be better.

Do we ever go back to the "boom"? Well, maybe in 20 or so years... but the next 5 or so years are going to be hell. I'm over it though, as I didn't succumb to stupid housing loans, nor have I yet been a victim of layoffs or job hunts, thankfully, and pray my job will be safe through this tumultious time. I've got $2000 in credit card debt that will be paid off in 3 months, and I will be able to agressively save for the first time in my 12 year working life.

However, I know that most people are not in the same boat, and that tough times are all around. My heart goes out to them, regardless of how they ended up in that situation.
