Now this is a proper answer: no analysis, no response at all, but shooting at the messenger from all calibers. Did you offshore the job of your mental apparatus and now wait for the timezones to kick in, hoping you'll have it all in the morning at 10% of the price?

So, "lunatics", "left", "end of oil", "end of W.C."... and for good measure, add a sport. Good, that's a good argument.

All this may not happen so fast, and I may not be here to say "I told you so" when it comes (and even then you won't be able to recognize it, as it will always come gradually). But just in case, when it comes and if you do recognize it, imagine me saying so.
