Weren't people posting predictions for 2005 at the end of 2004? Why not just get those and cut-paste them into this thread? Or better yet, just cross-reference? It would save lots of time. They'd b ...

Is calling that fascist a "bunch of bull" Trespam?

I'm not familiar with this "Rigorous Intution" but I took a glance at his Heinberg article and a few of his other writings.

Worst is that he is compelling his 16 year old ward to stay with him...

What an asshole.
