   'Tis my experience that no matter how bad things are, they can always   
   get worse.  We are on the cusp of two concurrent disasters; plague &   
   financial collapse.   
      
   Nations are printing squillions of watered dollars to prop up their   
   electorates while des hommes de qualité are dropping like flies.   
      
   All we need to complete the disaster is for a few nukes to go off,   
   preferably Iran & Israels'.   
      
   Old people are lucky; they're gonna die soon!
