I'm reading Atlas Shrugged right now. One of the greatest books I've read.... so far at least.
I came across this speech in the book and it is quite amazing. Money is perhaps the greatest metrical measure of how each of us has shown God the results of the "talents" he has given us argues one of Rand's characters (although the character was probably an Atheist).
Money is a testament to the glory of God's creation a Christian would argue after listening to this speech. Knowing that money can be tracked via numbers and put in a bar graph, the ability to numerically track, say, Mother Teresa's use of her "talents" still eludes us.
Enjoy

DOW above 10,000
I don't know about anyone else.... but I absolutely do not trust this market.
That being said.... I hate watching it all go up while on the sidelines.
I hate having to cheer for another crash (buying opportunity).

Time to Short Apple
Sorry, but 202 per share is just too much. This sucker has to drop back down to 170.
Too bad I don't have the guts to do this.

Obama to relax marijuana policy
FINALLY
I'm starting to like this guy (Obama). Just because something is bad doesn't mean there should be a law punishable by hefty fines and/or jail time associated with that particular action.
If you lie to your parents, you are not fined and thrown in jail.
If you cheat on your significant other, you are not fined and thrown in jail.
If you do not attend church on Sunday, you are not fined and thrown in jail.
If you curse in front of your own children, you are not fined and thrown in jail.
If you don't support your kids' education, you are not fined and throw in jail.
Need I say more..... There are SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES to doing bad things.
The criminalization of marijuana use and possession is one of the most worthless, expensive, and non-functioning laws that this country has ever seen. It serves only to keep the incarceration industry in business.
Drug use is a health problem. We should punish those whose drug use is associated with other crimes that endanger the public just like we do with alcohol. Alcohol which kills and injures more people as a result of abuse than any other drug.
