James, in a word, we are f****d. Your friend is probably more right than wrong. I've always thought my dad's generation was the best even though he lived thru the depression before WWII. Whether that's true or not, I'm glad I won't be around to see the worst. It'll be bad enough in the next 10 to 15 years which should show me my grave. I don't even want to see the immediate future as it appears to be unfolding.
