When I first read the article I posted above I was reminded of that old quote from August 4, 1914 by British Foreign Secretary Sir Edward Grey as the storm clouds of WW1 grew......only this time it could be said about America and what our political leaders are doing to this economy:
The lights are going out all over Europe. We shall not see them lit again in our lifetime.
Spend this coming Christmas with those most special to you.
I truly believe we will be remembering with longing, Christmas 2008 for a very long time.
