We get it down here in Australia as well, Jim. "The Global Financial Crisis" is bandied about as if it's all a foregone conclusion. And people are starting to believe it.

A fellow at work had Planned to go overseas in December. But he tells me, now he'll wait until next year to see how this Financial Crisis goes before flying out. He's working something like 60 hours a week... but concerned this Crisis he Hears about but doesn't experience anything of, will somehow stop his vacation.

Damn. Just as the media stopped calling it Global Warming and now all say Climate Change (now there's a generic term for ya), they have a new hobgoblin to present... Global Financial Crisis - film at 11.

What should we do?

Not What should we do... but Should we do anything?

My answer... No. it will all work itself out in one way or another anyway. As it has always done. Next hobgoblin please...
