because we really should be concentrating on the upcoming DEPRESSION.
Why is everyone skirting the pending doom of this economy? Gas prices through the roof, jobs going overseas and evaporating in the US, housing prices going into the toilet devastating people's equity, food prices going higher, etc. ,etc.
You look around and it's all bad news. The local gov'ts can't continue to function because the local houses are being foreclosed upon and taxes aren't being collected.
