<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 1241697, member: 6036&quot;]I certainly agree with many folks - that some things could be better and some things have been mismanaged. I don&#039;t feel we&#039;re headed for a recession - and even if we are, we&#039;ll handle it just like we did the last one.</p><p><br /></p><p>Many people have a very optimistic view of the future. That doesn&#039;t mean we&#039;re wrong. Sadly, we optimists are often attacked as &quot;drinking the kool-aid&quot; because we don&#039;t have a negative view... as if somehow being pessimistic makes one &quot;better informed&quot;.</p><p><br /></p><p>People in wealthy nations like the US, Canada, UK, most of Europe, etc simply don&#039;t understand what most of the world&nbsp; lives like. I just got back from volunteer work at orphanages and shanty towns in El Salvador. People in wealthy countries don&#039;t know jack squat about poverty. We should be more grateful.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
