       Bullshit. The current drop in property values can be traced
       DIRECTLY back to the 1987 crash.. Real estate markets in
        Sweden, Britain, France, Japan, Canada, and the U.S. are 
      collapsing.  I'd imagine that Russian, Norway and Finland are

     Bad assumption.  I'm on my THIRD time back.  This is the last,
     my patience with the system is wearing thin.  Next time, I'm

       I've read Thurow.  Now, I suggest to YOU, read Batra, Kindleberger,
   Marx, and Ress-Mogg.  No, I take it back.  I don't suggewt this.
    
    Keep believing it will be okay.  That way, I have less competition.


     People like you told me I was foolish for leaving Los Angeles.
     So far, I missed being burned in riots. loosing all my equity in 
     real estate, having my guns confisated.  I've got a grip, chum
