On depression rehab treatment centers

Funny, I used to read a lot of science fiction when I was a kid, but to the best of my memory, no author ever thought of the threat of space junk -- the pieces of destroyed satellites etc that are orbiting the Earth, and which threaten the safety of ships going up such as the shuttle. And, now, the space station where the shuttle is docked. I guess it's a symptom of the assumption that the universe is big enough to take all humanity's junk and just somehow get rid of it. That's pretty true for small time groups. It's less true for cities. And even less true when we're all over the planet. Yet people still dump stuff into the oceans and the other main waters. They seem big -- they are big -- but still cannot just dissolve all that stuff. Space is much bigger, but the debris is not headed out toward space, or falling into the sun, it's just orbiting the Earth. Someday we'll have to put some depression rehab treatment centers to treat people who are missing the Earth.

Well, times may be tough for some people, but isn't it great to know that Prince Harry and Kate had a great welcome visiting Hollywood? I guess the rest of America is pretty useless and boring to them. But they wore formal outfits and visited with Hollywood stars. So it's great that they had a good time and met J-Lo and Nicole Kidman and the stars met them. It must have been so nice and exciting. I'm all for the wealthy enjoying their wealth but something about these people just showing up to show off, and the royal couples meeting Hollywood stars only, just grates on me, though. However, it's interesting that some of the photos clearly show that the prince's hair is thinning on top. Not yet as bad as mine, but enough to be noticeable. I remember when he was born and already he's getting old. Where does that leave me? Oh well, he serves in Iraq so he deserves a lot of respect for that. Maybe he lost hair from the stress. But maybe he was covered by www.wholesaleinsurance.net.

On Samsung LCD

You don't need to watch the financial news on a samsung lcd to be concerned about what is happening there. Greece managed to be rescued despite the rioting of its people, who I guess have gone home now. But Italy is next on the list of countries, with the most debt. It's also demographically in trouble. Italians aren't having enough babies to replace the dead, meaning that the population is getting older on average, and Italy as we know it could be gone by the end of this century. No doubt they'll be replaced by Muslims from North Africa. Who are not supposed to pay interest. That'll be great for government bonds. Zero interest. Of course, most of the world has near zero interest bonds now. And trending toward zero principal as well.

On Polaris RZR Accessories

One thing I liked about Debt of Honor by Tom Clancy was that it portrayed what he deems the "First Economic War." It's done by Japan in cooperation with China, and in conjunction with their military moves, and it's pretty credible. Mainland China has banks in Hong Kong -- about to revert to being part of China again -- sell a huge bundle of US T-bills. Other such sales follow, putting pressure on the US dollar. Then a mutual fund family owned by the Japanese plotter sells off a huge chunk of Citibank, because a bank stock is hurt by weak dollar. Other such sales soon follow, sending the entire US stock market into a tailspin. Then the plotter has hacked software wipe out record of all transactions after 12:00 PM that day, thinking that will totally knock out the economy. But it gives our hero Jack Ryan the idea of how to overcome the total problem, with cooperation from European central banks. Thank God for Jack Ryan. Where would the United States be without him, right? Whether he uses polaris rzr accessories or not, it doesn't matter. It's his advice that saves us. What's scary is that in real world now, Japan and China have more than enough T-bills to sink the dollar if they started selling them all off. It wouldn't take any fancy tricks or sabotage.
