...He said the forecast read: "High chance of hackysack later in the day." LOL.

Then let's get some guy from Hackysack, NJ down there to pass some of those things out and make everyone happy. :? :lol:

I read that twenty times over, and kept seeing "haystack." Gave up after a while, since "high chance of haystack" eluded me. Thought maybe I was culturally deprived. :P :oops: :P

Is hackysack a little soft thing people try to keep in the air?

The way I see it - some people tend "to score" in these turbulent times... If one looks at North Africa / Middle East, (s)he can see that lobby groups are trying to take over the resources. The poor people will remain poor, and the rich will get richer...

The US "Wall Street" demonstrations, are (for me) the same. Several individuals will emerge from this with profit (not cash), all the rest of the demonstrators won't get anything (except a chance to shout and think it WAS THEM that changed the world).


Back here it's pretty much the same. Banks are cashing in BIG from mortgages, rates and interest. People have harder and harder times to earn money - almost impossible. For example, if I were to buy a house, I'll need 150.000euro. And if I get a credit from the bank, I'll have to return 330.000euro for the next 30 years.
With a month rate of 920euro, and a salary of 550euro (and the average salary is 350euro) - I don't see how this is possible.

The world is slowly moving into "turbulent times" - we'll see what happens...

From here it looks like a loose amalgam of aged hippies, conspiracy theorists, frustrated Marxists, and college students – but I repeat myself – who refuse or are unable to clean up after themselves.

Political personalities are hoping to co-opt the fervor and have it ignite in their favor. But there are billions to be made:
