amen.
December 10, 2009
Agreed Fitch. That is a fundamental question. That, and a sense of destination. How do we determine and when do we know we are nearing the "end" of sustainable growth, what limits and constraints must be applied along the way and at that point (and…

Looks like I may miss this one (drat, drat, drat!). I'm leaving for vacation on Jan 8.
