Handguns are a doubleedged sword. I for one would never want one in my home. Anyone who sees fit to go down that path would be well served by first taking gun safety courses and getting a lot of range practice before purchasing one. I believe that SAS has thoughts about this and weapon storage.

Of course that may change in a few days but, if only for today, I feel represented.

“What’s past is prologue.”

-Shakespeare, The Tempest

“What is the best strategy to invest in real estate?”

Short every REIT that you suspect of having even slightly cooked books or projections.

Because the current problem is a broken, insoluble Rubik’s Cube. Every possible solution spawns five guaranteed disasters.

The problems of the past can’t be put aside, because they involve the very incompatible elements of loss of trust, coupled with banking. I forget who said it, but I remember reading a quote that loosely maintained that the business of banking is not about money, it’s about trust. And, once the trust is gone, the bank is done.

Well, we now have a situation in which failed banks have now turned to the US gubmint (no trust issues there…LOL!) in an effort to shore up an illusion of value which never, ever existed.

If a Martian appeared amongst us right now, he’d just order the final annihilation of Earth and fly his spaceship to the Moon to watch the fireworks.

If we had a gubmint we could trust, a problem like this would never develop to the point we’ve currently reached.

Your constant moving of the target, manipulation of the answer by repeatedly changing the question and drawing the most torturous and outrageous analogies and parallels is becoming tedious.

I really don’t think you are dishonest or have an agenda at all. It’s just that we’re about to get a big serving of shit pie, and you’re still wondering why the pastry chef can’t bake up another dish.
