[quote=partypup]If you agree with the ONLY point I was trying to make…then I really don’t see the point of your follow-up posts.[/quote]

I’m not disagreeing with your point, I’m questioning the likelihood of the scenarios under which your point even matters.

[quote=partypup]I presented a scenario (economic dislocation) that is much, much more likely than any of the outlandish scenarios you presented above.[/quote]

You’re forgetting the other part of your scenario where some disaster situation worsens the economic downturn. Is a global apocalyptic flu outbreak any more likely to happen than an earthquake or another Katrina? You must know something we don’t about this whole flu thing.

[quote=partypup]It’s really amusing to see how quickly people slip into hyperbole when interpreting the words of others.[/quote]

You mean hyperbole like “go back and sip your Kool Aid?” Good thing nobody has used that in this thread yet.

Remind me…when did I bring religion or Obama’s relationship to the Anti-Christ into any of my posts? Can you find one instance?[/quote]

How about this instance: [quote=partypup]And yes, your Messiah – despite all the trappings – is still a politician like all the other hacks who have preceded him.[/quote]

If you get to call Obama my Messiah, I get to call him your Anti Christ. It’s only fair.
