    Sometimes, I contradict myself,.. I was watching Little House on the Prairie, lol.. they were moving this blind school, and it appears the ower of the school was under the impression all the kids were white, Harriet Oleson give him the impression she was also a racist. But once she brought the children to the school, there were many colored. Then he was outraged, because she didnt like blacks. Then she got all pissed off and said "its what Im saying now that matters and the colored children stay".. It doesnt matter the children are colored cause its just a color of their skin, its whats underneath..

    black are easy to spot, gays are not.. racist just shifted their targets to someone they felt wouldnt fight back.,. yeah, Gays dont fight. they are gay.. good one.

    like Cannabis consumers will not fight for their rights cause they are all stoners.. This comedian logic blows my mind sometimes..

    The markets are revealing something VERY TELLING about the US economy but no one seems to have picked up on it yet.

    As the $US loses value, the markets go up, just like gold goes up. The US stock market is now INDEPENDENT of the US$ because the DOW is so full of MULTINATIONAL CORPS, it no longer reflects the true face of the US economy. It now truly a WORLD MARKET and only reflects how the WORLD as a whole is doing.

    These multinational corps aren't tied to the US $ so when the dollar drops it only means Americans buying power is diminished, not Corporate profits. A lower dollar means US goods are cheaper overseas and hence create more sales and profits. And those earning money overseas will PROFIT MORE by a lower $ since they will get more $ when they redeem foreign currencies back to America (if they even still bother to!)

    Ah see, theres a very big difference in perspective here... I've never considered the dow to be just an american thing... Its always been an investment tool of the rich, regardless of their nationality.

    I do get what you are saying though in terms of its bounces not following just the american economy... There used to be a time when the whole world followed the US economy... that will never come about again.

    Actually, the small time investor got into the stock market BIG TIME back around 1996 until around 2000, when the market crashed and most ppl lost a good chuck of their investments when the Internet bubble burst.

    That was a BIG LESSON for the small investor who powered that rally. They finally jumped in again last decade with 401Ks, and got burnt again after the housing market bubble.

    So the most important lesson here is to NEVER, EVER privatize social security or it will result in the biggest bubble bursting we've ever seen...

    And while the small investor got screwed the BANKS made Billions in profits from them.

    And the truth is they scammed the small investor from the start, playing with their orders using much faster computers who could buy and sell and profit from their orders (in a split second) before they could make a buy.

    They convinced the small investors in the stock market that they had lightning fast trades and ppl thought they could play with the big boys, but the big boys had the game rigged from the start!

    Wasn't that my point though (I really have no clue anymore)? Yes smaller people lost money, and they unlike the rich couldn't recover... Actually that ties in quite well...

    The smaller people get into the market, a lot of new 'rich' are now around... 5% of the top investors decide to yank money out of key markets, causing them to collapse, wiping out the new rich, at which point in time they dump their money back in and scoop up the remains...

    Maybe I should have clarified from the start that when I say the 'rich' in terms of a group, I am not talking about people who are millionaires and have a couple of homes and investment properties... I mean people the type of people who are on (or should be on) the top 1000 richest people type thing...

    It doesn't have to be all of them, or even many of them... a couple of dozen tossing money around strategically (through various entities so it wasnt obvious of course) to manipulate the system to maintain their power...

    Although it would take thousands and thousands of little investors panicking to cause a huge market shift not to mention maintaining it, there are some that can directly effect it with the amount of money they control.

    That's all completely separate from the weed thing though... lol
