How bad can it be if you can still laugh at it? Some people think the depression will never hurt them. They do not realize how much we all live in a managed society on life support. The reason money men seem scared when they are the last to ever want to appear scared, is that they know more than the rest of us that we are living in a house of cards. If the government could not print up money at will, and so steal al little wealth from all people, then it would have fallen long ago. There is grass growing up through the driveway cracks in two houses in my neighborhood. I'll bet those foks are not laughing. Especially the old black man who had the stroke. They're gone now. Disappeared. Do disappeared people laugh? Best wishes. Sweeney
