A challenge directed at English teachers. Teachers more concerned with conformity at the expense of clarity. Secondary is using first, second, or third person. Rules of English can be violated for clarity. A law is secondary to the purpose of that law. Irrelevant is whether the object is "I" or 'tw' (first or third person). Those who fear (who advocate blind conformity) would be upset. It bewilders or perplexes English Nazis who are more concerned with rules rather than the logic - the underlying point.

The point remains obvious. Today, the stock market welcomed rumors of increased interest rates. How can that be when the market rallied over lowered interest rates and easy money only months ago? Welcome to the conundrum created because massive economic stimulus by an irresponsible (wacko) administration now means that everything the government does can only make things worse.

Lower interest rates creates more inflation, a lower dollar, higher energy prices, and more money games that mortgage the future and stifle innovation. Raise interest rates only increases the deficit as we sell off more of America, continue to reduce real estate prices (cumulatively) by 40%, and increase bankruptcies. Well, this was the impending disaster that tw was warning about maybe four years ago. Problems created by welfare to the rich (lower taxes) and record high spending that only Republicans advocate. This same warning was coming from so many self made rich men so many years ago. Welcome to what happens because we ate Cheney's apples as the snake (UG, et al) so often advocated. Yes, tw also put the Bible into proper perspective.
