After a few years of happy barddom, I have made a decision to change my avatar. It has been a long, hard decision, but one which needed to be made. This new pic tells the entire story of the pessimism that has bloomed in my longterm "long live the USA" belief. We are at the precipice, sliding into the abyss with nothing to hold onto. In 10 years, we will be North American Union Members with a common AMERO and a devalued currency that results from over supply of $$$$$$. Time to liquidate, consolidate, and emigrate. [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]America is a SERVANT A slave nation! Regardless of what they think or say! It has built a house of cards on a pyramid of debt! Zero-down mortgages and interest-only loans? God forbid! The head will soon wag the tail, and the house of cards will be swept away in financial panic![/FONT]
"A central bank is more of a threat to freedom than a standing army"- Thomas Jefferson (paraphrased) I came to the painful realization some years ago that this nation, as we have known it, is finished. The battle is over. And it is a hard pill to swallow. But, after a mourning period your focus changes. If I can't prevent it then I have to prepare to survive it. Some very interesting times ahead of us. Persevere Sir Bard, persevere. You are not alone. Revelation 3:10
"After a few years of happy barddom..." Well, now that you won't be hanging around the bar so much we will expect you to be even more prolific!
" If the American People allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their Property until their Children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered." --- Thomas Jefferson
Nice. We will now have at the monkey a monumental, event based date code. Kinda like BC and AD. Pre-Bard (PB) and Post-Bard (PB) wait, that won't work.... Oh well. Here's how I feel most days.
