Important INFO.....

[Y33TREKker]

I see Coastie as just being informative, not insane. I also see/think that people are pretty sure about what is going on in the world and realize.... there is nothing we can do about it.

Really no need to sling mud around though.

Agreed. It's always easy to view certain things as harbingers of doom because they sometimes have the appearance of chaos. I happen to think that things are generally more connected than they may appear on the surface though, and aren't always as totally unrelated as some would have you believe.

Take for example the current trouble in the Strait of Hormuz. Does is not seem even a little coincidental that this would be happening and the potential "threat" of higher foreign oil/gas prices would start to be thrown around at the same time that support is trying to be gathered for that Canadian/U.S. pipeline project? An easy way to determine the reality of that possibility would be to look where the powers that be in Washington and Wall Street are currently placing their bets in the stock market.

If a person looks at the list Coastie provided, it seems fairly straightforward how many of the items on that list have money as the root cause of the issues...so yeah...S.N.A.F.U.

Eh, no coincidence whatsoever. It's just the usual global conspiracy to raise gas prices just before my annual pilgrimage to Moab...happens every year.
