The eventual fail will be epic, but predicting the timing is not something I am willing to attempt. Timing is a bugger. And it has already gone on longer than what I thought it could have. But I have this bad habit of thinking people are rational and reasonable. Actually I do not think that, but in my thought process about how things will likely turn out I forget that a significant portion of the population have a lot less rationality than we give them credit for. Things like the "efficient market hypothesis" are complete bunk because a significant portion of people are anything but reasonable and rational. But when I think things through I make the incorrect assumption that others will see what I see and see the logic I see. And that is my downfall (one of many actually, LOL). That is why I am surprised when things do not work out like I think. I assume many people look at the situation with a rational and logical mind. It is more likely the opposite. John
