ParticipantI was going to reply the exact same way that Itokuda did. If your friend wasn’t injured, then there was no need for the airbag to deploy in the first place.

ParticipantThat’s a weird way of spelling ‘wierdo’ 🙂
The family who accused him of improper conduct was shown to have a history of shaking down corporations for money. MJ was acquitted in 2005, but public opinion forever crucified him.
The jesus-juice and the co-sleeping were probably true stories. He was a weird individual, he had fame and fortune before he could read and write, and grew up in a weird (again) family where he had no childhood. But like FLU, I don’t think he was a pedophile.
Geez, he was only 50!! That sucks. I was never a fan, but he gave us some beautiful songs that will certainly outlast all of us.

Participant[quote=jficquette]Be patient. Prices are going a lot lower.[/quote]
In real (inflation-adjusted) terms, I agree. But dollar (nominal) prices? I’m not so sure. The Fed and the Treasury have pumped unheard of amounts of liquidity into the system to save the skins of all those responsible for the mess we are in. True, other jobs were saved too (unemployment would have been far worse without the many bailouts), but I think we’ll pay a very high price for it.
The price? High inflation! Those of us who were responsible with our finances, who didn’t drink the kool aid, who lived within our means, who sold our real estate in 2005-2006, and who have savings, will be screwed. Our savings will erode and depreciate as inflation takes off. Talking heads on TV, including Prof. Alan Blinder say that inflation is not a problem b/c the Fed will reverse the liquidity injection once the economy recovers.
I think Blinder is naive. If it were so easy to control inflation, why did it get so out of hand in the 70s? Young people often buy the fallacious argument that our elders were stupid and that we are smart. That the 1970s Fed was inept, but the Fed of 2010-2015 will be accurate and infallible. That is a pollyanish assessment! And that’s why gold is so expensive: the market expects dollars to have less purchasing power in the medium and long term. Too late to buy gold now… but maybe I should start considering re-entering the real estate market. Once inflation takes off, as it did in the 70s, you’ll wish you had your savings in either stock (provided the issuing corporation doesn’t go bankrupt), or real estate. Holding on to cash will be (or already is) suicidal.
