I tend to agree that one should embrace uncertainty rather than draw up and horde like the cowering chickens and bunker digging freaks among us are doing at present. I believe that continuing to invest and spend during uncertain times, whilst dealing with political issues as a seperate matter would make our system nearly impossible to bring down.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where half of us are hopelessly paranoid and fear stricken. It's a shame, because it really does hold us back.

What say you?
Of course life is uncertain, why else buy insurance. But you do not have to run about like a chicken with its head cut off (actually they really do, it is wierd to see).

I could add to the article's Shakespeare quotation "It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."
