The twenties and thirties were racked with economic volatility, organized crime activity and labor unrest. The fourties ravaged by war and Fascism. The 60's full of social upheaval, anti-war protests and the steady stream of flag draped coffins returning from Vietnam. In the '70s we battled the devastating effects of Disco, crappy cars and terrible interior decorating. In the eighties Saint Ronnie inspired a generation of Gordon Gekko-esque corporate vampires to spend the next thirty years bleeding the country dry of any domestic industry and strong paying jobs in the name of "satisfying" their greed. (As if such a thing is even possible.)

And here we are, Pat. Actually arguing with people as to whether or not a little positive news about an increase in exports and the market being over 13k is a good thing..............................

Did you ever in your life think you would have to engage in such an insane argument?
