A Place On The . Net

You are, as usual, very perceptive. That's always a given.

However do realize that "The Crash" is not the ugly little thing our Dems talk about.

Oh, sure. Everybody is harkening back to the Great Depression and that is a useful analogy. That kind of hard time will come soon enough and will do its own breed of pain. I cannot guess the cause and I agree with you that Modern Depression gurus are all nuts at best and large-scale crooks at worst.

Nay. I am talking about the crash that will be caused by the new age of required federal and corporate charity. In the last generation, charity was performed by individuals and by individuals who owned corporations. They did their gifting in secret the way John Hern made millions of dollars in wages possible for troubled men just out of our jails. That he never stood around to be thanked made it possible for them to regain their self respect and pride. Secret, not government-mandated charity.

There will be no more of that kind of stuff. Industry can no longer afford it.

Required federal and corporate charity will be that Obama Nation thing wherein we share all we have with people we thought to be our adversaries on the great plain of life. You'll be sharing your living room with immigrants, your wages with jungle tribal chieftans and you will be sharing your taxes with polar bears. From each according to his ability -- To each according to his need. When this becomes unbearable, the population will be up substantially and there will be (almost) no way out of trouble.

Care to invest in a new space vehicle?

I am thinking of your Uncle Joe and the 300 Mexican braceros he "owns." I am thinking of Paraguay and how I could start making Docras(TM) on a shoestring there. That is a nation that has always welcomed Germanic immigrants. I could do it without owning anybody.

Doesn't seem farfetched to me!

Tell me if I am perceptive.
