So, we should saddle our grandchildren with debt instead? The Roman Empire didn't fall for financial reasons if I remember my history correctly. They actually did a fair job of managing their economy most of the time. Also recall that of the many empires that have risen and fallen over the millennia, the Romans stayed in power for around 800 years, far longer than most, so they must have been doing something right. Even if their empire wasn't the largest, it was one of the more stable. In any case, regardless of who said it, not saddling our grandchildren with our debt seems like pretty good advice, even if they messaged up on something else (like continual political infighting/assassination and failing to defend against invading nomadic tribes from the north). Hopefully it won't come to that for our civilization. And remember, blame Canada! -Justin ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:328365 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
