The simple point I was trying to make is we all took a beating on 87, as well. Since then, my stats, as stated are factually correct. I simply believe the resilience of this country will repeat itself as far as those numbers go.

Even if it takes awhile....please tell me what biching about it accomplishes and why my optimism is not the way to look at this dilemma.

Shall I walk life all day commiserating doom and believing I haven't a hope? I have kids to inspire; not paint them a pic of devastation!
