You find comfort in numbers, don't you? All of you are in it together,
and that gives you a false sense of security. NAFL is bad news and all
of you have the right to switch off the TV when bad news appears. But
it won't go away, it is still there. I don't need numbers to know that
NAFL is right, It is the truth, and *has* to be the truth.The truth
will triumph in the end, may be well after your retirement and my
death. But it will still triumph.
