RUN FOR THE HILLS! Top financial adviser sees imminent collapse of U.S. civilization - U.s. - Catholic Online

I believe that this analyst is overstating his case... but I do think that we are in for an economic crisis in the immediate future. The massive influx of cash into the money supply since the US Reserve Bank started pumping it into the economy in the wake of the banking collapse will inevitably set off an inflationary spiral similar to what we witnessed in the late 1960's through to the late 80's. Add to this the MASSIVE debts that governments have accumulated during the past decade which, once interest rates start climbing (and they will as soon as the American economy comes to life) and we have a recipe for a fiscal and monetary crisis which governments will be unable to deal with.
So while I don't think it's time to 'head for the hills', it is a time to very careful with one's investments... assuming that you have any after the economic storms of the past number of years!

Good will to all men? Not from the grumpy atheists! (Thank God not all atheists are grumpy but there sure seems to be a lot of them)

Why is it that so many in the atheist community cannot bring  themselves to get past their anger whenever they engage in discussions? The language of many of their contributions in public debate is laced with invective and dripping with sarcasm and bile. There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death  that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
