If you live in the right state you won't be affected much at all! :)TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-11349252465800387452008-02-19T08:15:00.000-05:002008-02-19T08:15:00.000-05:00I've realized I'm unhappy reading your blog. Every posting and article here continually supports the thesis of financial armageddon. Another couple more months of this and I will have no choice but to liquidate all my accounts, buy precious metals (the actual commodity), stock up on canned goods and water, lock myself up in my depreciating house, and wait for the eventual collapse of the global capital markets.T-Raderhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16892169651369153159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-36521142886796680682008-02-18T14:46:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:46:00.000-05:00You got me :)<BR/>I am still unclear why we have troops the world over, on DMZ line, in Germany, etc. Same with Japan. Let them rebuild their army if they wish; it's been 70 years - I think they learned their lesson. We don't need to be policeman for 80% of free world. And I just don't see a large scale land invasion happening on shores of Virginia, New York, Florida, or California. Even for those who think it to be likely, let's station those people there in case it happens in the still of the night.<BR/><BR/>For that matter, I don't see a lot of people itching to invade Denmark either.... not in past 50 years at least.<BR/><BR/>In the end we are going to run out of money to fund this extended empire. Like all good empires. (see Roman) So it won't be by choice, but by purse.<BR/><BR/>I think the 4000+ nuclear weapons we have should be a good way to keep enemies off our shores?TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-53568808240502771852008-02-18T14:38:00.000-05:002008-02-18T14:38:00.000-05:00Common conservative response: How strong is the Danish military?Alexhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16282832098229220877noreply@blogger.com
