MoeJoe: i think you have hit on a basis that needs examining, that's for sure. I maybe had that sort of idea rumbling around in my head and heart, but it never jelled until I read your post.

Maybe because it would never occur to me to categorize us as optimistic and you guys as pessimistic.

Which leads me to another question: How do you all as a group consider yourselves to be weathering the global economic nightmare if you are basically pessimistic? Because we know it's tough out there, but dog gone it, we as an American group know things will change for the better very soon.... and we as individuals plan on winning.

In other words, do you see the economy as a problem or an opportunity?
