I take it you gave up on your novel? If it's too demanding maybe the gov't could write it for you.

Never done so before, don't see no reason on startin' now.
I think you're just wanting me to mail you something.

No ranting today? No venom? What gives?
In Canada our mortgage rates just went up today as a result of all this. Our stock market is also down about 20%. Retirees and retirment pension funds are having to re-assess. My pension fund is looking at having to increasing our dues in order maintain the current benefit levels since our fund has lost so much money. Once the US announces the bailout packages, stocks should go back up so we're hoping they do it before our actuaries put out their report recommending higher payroll deductions to cover the losses.
Anyone who thinks this financial meltdown doesn't affect them is deluding themselves unless they own their business and have no money/pension in the stock market and wont' be renewing their mortgage in the next little while.

People must be paralysed with shock; can't say I blame them.
Actually, I should be working now, but a little chess break never hurt anyone.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageI wouldn't say they're paralyzed with shock. It's just that our Congress doesn't do anything quickly. They might get something agreed on by this weekend, but there's no guarantee.

Originally posted by Bosse de NageIt's like I always say, revolution is good for the soul, however, all the reasons you storm the palace end up rearing their ugly heads again with the new regime. Therefore, maybe if we just let them destroy themselves and ignore them this time around they will just all go away for good. 😉
