Edwin, this is the second time that I agree with you 100%, I am shocked again. We are of opposite opinions of the Fed. But you have made many very valid points. I have three words for the government, "Fear the People"

Speaking of narcissism....sheesh!

    My wife Espie Sumcad who was also a journalist ahead of me, whose short stories have been nominated for Palanca Award of Excellence, was also delighted when she read this editorial on Obama’s narcissism. She said and I quote: “Love of self is also a necessary virtue if it is not too heady or fattening to the point of self-disfiguring,”

    Women are generally conscious of their figure. When I pressed her to say what’s in her mind, and for her to agree or disagree to what was written, she refused to say that ego-wise, Obama is overweighed. 

    By there is a little bit scary coincidence … like Powell Gammil, Espie surprised me by putting a finger on her mouth to seal her lips.

    RickStone, sharpen your cutting sword for our next disagreement.  In the meantime, permit me to just like you, until the next time I will comment on your comments for you to disagree and once again dislike me. 

     But honestly, I have no problem with intellectuals like you when they chose to engage me, my philosophy and/or to just politely question my way of thinking on matters of national importance. On this parameter, we have one thing in common, and we will have more and more agreements than disagreements in the days ahead. #
