Hmm...in times of uncertainty, particularly when people are concerned about their personal status and well-being, it is reasonable to increase one's sense of alarm, wariness or risk management.

Some folks get freaked out, others respond more calmly. If there are hard times ahead, I expect it will bring out the best in some people and the worst in others.

As to whether or not people are facing real problems, I'll merely repeat an old maxim:

"What a piece of bread looks like depends on how hungry one is."

And here I was almost expecting it to be something like Chris' birthday. Then I realized there wasn't a zero at the end. :P

I'm teasing- Chris, only feels like you used to hunt mammoth with a spear sometimes. smile

Well, Ironraven, it is MY birthday and I was in a past life killed by a mammoth. I was too young to join the hunters but I decided to be prove my worth and hunt and kill a mammoth on my own. I was just a kid, and I attacked a young mammoth with a spear I had fashioned. Well suffice it to say that the young mammoth stomped my little body into the soil, and well...here I am again!

Trog, check my sig. :P

All I'm going to say is run away cart full of camel dung. Worst death ever. Give me plague, give me famine, give me war, just don't give me that again. grin

You can't be a reincarnationalist and take it too seriously. After all, you aren't getting out of this life alive.
