I'm glad we've finally let these types of discussions become part of the forum...I tried putting these issues on the table more than a year ago but got quashed by the higher-ups...maybe Blast has more pull because he has more posts...either way, well done...let's keep the talk rolling...these are scary times. Like it or not, this is political talk. It needs to be discussed, here in this forum. We have to stop turning our backs on the fact that politics and economics are the BIGGEST reason we prepare for the worst.
