My favorite was the "Economy at Standstill" headline a few months ago. The data they were reporting was that there was no growth in the economy at that time.

OK, maybe growth was at a standstill, but the economy emphatically was NOT at a "standstill."

If you must be a fool, dont advertise it. By your standard of a standstill, all economic activity would have to disappear. When you are selling 100 units in 2001 and 100 in 2002, then your business is standing still. There is no growth. Without growth, budgets are cut and so is employment. Grow up and join the real world.
