Though a lot of people in my line of work (alternative economic and geopolitical analysis) tend to be accused of "doom mongering," I have to say personally I am not a big believer in "doom." At least, not in the way that the accusation insinuates.

In fact, it annoys me that so many people seem desperate to imagine those conclusions whenever a crisis event takes shape.

Stonewall Jackson - will be removed from streets on an Army base in New York City, according to the NY Daily News.
