> I wonder how many Wall Streeters are buying farms and seeking self-sufficiency?

None. Zero. Zip. They're all still at work making money and getting bonuses. They know all the 'end of the world' paranoia is just paranoia, and they're exploiting it to short-sell their way to their next billion bucks. They're exploiting Peggy Noonan, just like they exploited Jim Cramer.

We'll have a financially rough time just like we do every 20 or 30 years, then things will pick right back up with some differences, just like they do every 20 or 30 years.
