Holy crap! I thought that was a joke icon, but the idiots actually use it!

I'm glad we still have creative people in this country. If we survive this, and I think we will but it may take a while, it will be the entrepreneurs, engineers and inventors who pull us through. Every day they make millions of decisions to make something a little bit better, and collectively they are the Change We Can Believe In. You know, it probably takes three politicians and fifteen bureaucrats to impede the work of one good engineer.

Boys, we've got em outnumbered!

Yeah, but no matter how smart the entrepreneur, engineers and inventors, if they don't have access to capital, they're not going anywhere. Damn, damned hard to raise money right now. Osama's not doing anything to help build confidence in the markets, so the market isn't taking any risks. With new taxes on capital on the way, stuffing mattresses with cash seems like a good bet. In the last few months, trillions just evaporated.

Best regards,
Frank
