Is this what the economists call "irrational exuberance"

osuche,

Possibly, possibly. I prefer to leave predictions to those who believe they can peer with some degree of confidence into the future. I need only refer you to some of the speculations in the $$Gas$$ thread to illustrate how entertaining they may be.

Best. Question. Ever.

Well did you ever hear what happened to citibank? There are murmurs in the banking community that they nearly went bankrupt and the fed helped them by putting a whole bunch of cash in their reserves. And yes I think they could do that. The public is really too involved in their small little worlds to care about the big issues. Look again back at what this all started with. Global warming. It all comes down to the crappy educational system and lack of social awareness. After all having to acknowledge that there are problems in the world that have to be addressed is stressful.

But yes I just want to say one thing. I think it is great that this conversation is going on. It shows we actually have more on our mind than just sex.

rzande1,

I agree with you. When dealing with the world's many intractable problems it will always be possible for reasonable people to disagree.

You mean there's ARTICLES? With writing and everything?

Who knew?
