We the people are primarily driven by emotion. Fear, as the most powerful emotion has undoubtedly influenced major events and decided the course of history. Sometimes, I wish that we can be rational and spend more time thinking.

We should think before we act. Or will that be too late? Perhaps we should just act?

Are we being priced out of the Bay Area housing market as we contemplate? Or is the other side just being silly?

Is "global warming" a clear and present danger? Or is it simply creative environmentalism?

Will the housing bubble burst? Or will there be a soft landing?

Are the poles going to reverse in 2012? Or is that just fear-mongering.

If only we could live without fear, we would have achieved much more as a people.

Actually here is the original blog post:

It is an interesting question as to whether Deutsche Bank can push the debt back onto TOA. But the market is sure acting like it can. The stock has been plummeting all day.

Yes, raving all night until you get bored with it, then settling down and having kids sounds like fun.

But you hardly need to be born wealthy to have that life!

BTW, what is that “something” that successful people do that Warants your admiration?

The drive to do good. Just look at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Jimbo,

Gigantic orchid cloning labs and horse stables don't come cheap. Nor entrance into good clubs (esp. if you have Barbara Bush the Younger's face). Ditto competent childcare and soft lighting.

BillG is a great man. There are exceptions like him. We are fortunate. I am fortunate.

I agree. I have been worshipping him since 1990.

You have foresight (or vision).

I do not have enough self-faith to take profit on my vision though.

I wasn't suggesting gigantic horse stables, though even modest size stables are probably not cheap.
