That chart is just a nonsense like that. You can't just use dollars-then and dollars-now unless you really want to skew the appearance of the graph.
There have been dozens (hundreds??) of doom and gloomers over the past 200 years but still we prevail. Maybe I am being naive but I have been this naive for the past 40 years and we are still doing well.
Anyone one want to lay down some real money, lets say $50K (held in Escrow) that we will be doomed in 5 years?? Nah, thought not.
Enuff from me on this.

i think you are taking too much offense
this isnt the general section
this is the money and investing section
people will always have different views
i say sell GOOG, you may say buy GOOG
in this section, no one is taking personal shots
