Re: 24-Nov-11 World View -- Thanksgiving - a time to prepare

John, I just wanted to say, that I loved today's post. I feel your struggle: knowledge-sorrow. I too have felt this. Being a creative/strategic scientist type, I sometimes engage myself with things, before their time has come. It's frustrating when others don't get "it", and just as frustrating when...

From Kristallnacht to Occupy Wall Street

Just throwing this out there: When a movement - with the infectious and growing proportions of occupy wall street - keeps growing, should we prepare for a Kristallnacht-type event. I know that people didn't like their bankers back in the 1930's USA. But then we were the creditor of the world. Now th...

Great Persons According to their Generational Archetype

Just for fun, I was wondering if it would be possible to start classifying pairs of great historical people into the 4 generational archetypes determined by their proximity to their most influential crisis war.

Re: Financial topics

Regarding the fear of municipal defaults, I'd like to point out that municipal bonds rarely ever get issued without bond insurance these days. Unfunded liabilities aside, that means that the federal government is not going to have to bail out the municipalities directly. The entities demanding the b...
