You might be right, I don't know. Time will tell, I guess.
Speaking (soley) for myself, I plan on taking a sabbatical when it starts getting ugly. I'm nearly sixty, I'm in lousy health, I have a year and a half old son with some potentially serious health issues (yeah, I robbed the cradle when I married my young wife), and my life is just too short for the kind of crap I see coming down the pike.
It ain't gonna be pretty, that's for sure.
