Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain

Interesting. Hard to read the small print but interesting.

Just keep hitting the "+" button in Acrobat Reader until it is big enough to read.

Nah--grab the drop-down box for magnification and set it to fit to width. It's easier to handle that way.

I printed one out, which is what I suspect it was intended for and the print's just to small to read that way. 3.3 trillion?.....dang.

Zar, is the writting generally good or is there a little bit of spin on it? I find the web site kind of Fox Newsish at times.

You could say FTW has a definite opinion on a number of things and makes no bones about it. The whole thing is an opinion and analysis magazine, not news, so don't expect to rely solely upon it by any means and expect it to head in a definite direction.

The editors base their views from what seems to me to be solid information, and some of their predictions bear out, although you can definitely dispute some of the conclusions drawn. He tends toward the darker side of the possibilities in a given situation, although its not as if there is no reason at all for it. Still, you could easily come up with sunnier possibilities than he sometimes does.

Overall, his warnings and worries are, I feel, within the realm of real concern, if not to be taken as the only way to look at the situation. I read it with a guarded interest.
