BTW- by the wayIMHO- in my humble opinion
TPTB- the powers that be
IOW- in other words
TEOTWAWKI- the end of the world as we know it (doesn't mean the literal end of the world, just "as we know it.")

TEOTWAWKI- the end of the world as we know it (doesn't mean the literal end of the world, just "as we know it.")Could mean a bad recession or a depression, or something much worse. From my point of view, having my company go out of business and having to look for another job would be the end of "my" world.

(BG) big grin
(BEG) Big evil grin
Polly Someone who is so convinced or who has so much invested emotionally in the present system that they gloss over or ignore the available evidence on impending troubles.
Doomer Someone who is so completely sure that the Y2K rollover is going to be so bad (that we are going to see a breakdown in civil government authority) that they tend to gloww over possible good news.
Troll Someone who seems to post primarily for the purpose of distracting folks from serious discussions.
