And it will hurt all of us..no one will escape just to limit it will be the winners...and that my friend is one of your wiser comments......having been in europe at the end of ww11.....it does not matter how much money you have....what matters is what other trade currency we have to get us through the most difficult times....yup i have it all coins,stamps,gold,silver,divies,cash,land,property and no debt.....fug i am so paranoid about survival...that my kids,grandkids and greatgrand kids think i am nuts.....they are sick of my lectures....as well as most anyone else who will listen

i had a dutch friend who built a 60 mile spur rail line in n. manitoba......and he then retired at a relatively young age........many years later i was at a social event at what was his former home.....the new owner turns to me and says come on i want to show you something.....we went down stairs and the new owner says look up in the floor joists......between the joists were loaves of dryed out bread...the new owner turns to me and says what is it with you europeans....you have money, are cheap and you keep old bread......

i smiled at him and told him that he was very lucky he was given a gift....a lesson in survival....he missed the point of the lesson.....and in those days i did not lecture

so what does this have to do with crius......nothing....just recognizing wisdom that only comes with time and many f...k ups....thanks portee
