Yeah that sounds like a fantastic idea.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

We know why you're fatigued with all this. No one wants to hear a never-ending narrative of either their sins or the sins of their foreparents, especially while they're still enjoying the fruits of those sins.

It's like the mob boss who has an associate killed, then has the parish priest encourage the associate's widow to find another parish to worship at so the mob boss won't have to see her when he comes to mass.
Not sure what sins my foreparents committed. Maybe you can enlighten me.

Ok, you got me there, they did fight in the French and Indian War. Come to think of it, we also killed some TN hilljacks in the Civil War and some Japs in WWII

Sure! Give me their names, addresses and Social Security numbers.

My family immigrated from Scotland in 1910. My great grandfather and his family were treated like chattel. So, I'm down with the oppressed. And I hate The Man.

Chat room? I've never thought of thus place as a chatroom, but I guess that's an apt description.

I understand the concept of volatility as a general idea, but I've never understood how they (??) can put monetize it, i.e., the VIX. That index trades huge. I don't understand it...
