Hat, I don't think anyone is trying to discourage TG from posting. It looks like he is posting 'the sky is falling' message, but not backing it up with any rational argument. If there is a rational, logical argument in support of the fears, I would be glad to hear it. The 'I was there in 89' statement does not really help or support the fears unless there are some valid parallels or conclusions that can be put forward in support. Some here have provided what they see as key differences in the two situations and the response is 'you don't get it'.
TG, or anyone who has legitimate concerns, please post them. All I am asking, however, is to offer a convincing argument.
