[TOM4CWB]

What would you do differently?

I will count my blessings... one by one...

And love my neighbour as myself...

And gladly... help feed the world with good safe food... for one more year... all as if nothing was happening in December... yet totally ready to meet my maker!

Cheers!

Happy New Year 2012!!

God Bless Canada!

Tell my family I love them more often.

Be a little less busy...

The world will not end in December 2012. Nor will the USdx lose 70% of its value overnight come February 2012.

Is that your 1% to 4% Neanderthal fragments of DNA in our collective non African genome that tells you that your makers are not your parents?

Checking,i've got 1 very simple question for you.

How much purchasing power has the dollar lost since
inception?

Feel free to google it.

Bonus question.How much did it drop april 6 1933?

I laughed my @ss off throughout this dudes talk. It reminded me of someone I know.

[sumdumguy]

Did you think he was funny? Kinda makes me
wonder. When you look at the grand canyon,
there was some horrific tidal wave.

i would like to hear your thoughts.

[FarmRanger]

I think the more likely cause of the grand canyon was a quick release of meltwater, resulting from the "global warming" following the last ice-age.

Cotton.

You can dream of the glory years of the US dollar, but I doubt that you would be prepared to live in those times.

High lights of this morning's post bloomberg.com/news/2012-01-02/dollar-s-demise-exaggerated-as-13-gain-since-2008-prove

- moves by the Federal Reserve to flood the world with dollars are doing little to dent the currency's value..

- the US dollar index has appreciated 13% from March 2008 even as the Fed kept interest rates at about zero and printed cash... and is little changed since 1991.

- that long-term stability shows America's currency is a store of value...

- the performance counters officials in China, Germany, Brazil and (cotton, Canada) who said the Fed's policies were weakening the dollar...

If cotton wishes to go to the cliffs edge with reasonable doubt on the economy, I could stomach it. However, when the roadrunner's nemesis is forever giving that ten feet beyond the cliff edge momentary look before he plummets into the canyon depth, then I don't buy it.

Rerun the cartoon with your kids. They will understand.

[cottonpicken]

I guess i could tell you what has already happened
over the past ten years,but its a waste of time.

I hope i am wrong over what is coming at us.

This is one debate i don't want to win.

Sumdumbguy,

At the point where this fine fellow tells us the earth will reverse rotation... you have to know Utah water must have some extra kick in it!

Quite a story teller... no doubt...

I am not a rocket scientist but I think we are safe in 2012. About that guy giving the presentation, not sure. Is this why Saskatchewan land is so valuable today?
