...by that I mean there was a picture of an emo on the front cover, not an actual emo sitting on the prospectus.

We escaped the last big bursting of a bubble - the dotcom bubble - with a relatively light US recession. On that occasion, the world economy found its way back on track fairly quickly.

And that time, it was activist monetary policies - ie the slashing of interest rates that appeared to save the day. No wonder the Fed has chosen to repeat the formula today.

But this episode seems more serious than the dotcom one however, and it probably won't be resolved quite as easily.

Why? Because in 2000, we only managed to soften the landing from the crashing of the stock market bubble by creating a housing bubble. That supported American consumer spending, (enabling Asia to carry on exporting).

Alas this time there are no more obvious bubbles to create.

So today's cut in interest rates will struggle to support consumer spending at the levels necessary to act as a motor to the global economy.

Indeed, fiscal policy will struggle to do that either.

If you want to know the challenge facing the world, it is summarised by the American savings ratio - the proportion of disposable income saved by American households.

Back in 2000 and 2001, it was about 2%. It has now drifted down to zero (if not actually negative this year). That figure at some stage will probably have to drift up to something more normal, around 5%. As American consumers save more, the US imports and spends less.

The rest of the world feels the effect.

Now the fact that the American consumer motor is unable to power the world economy anymore, does not mean the world economy has to endure a long breakdown. We just have to replace the engine.

That means the world really needs spending in Asia to rise, to offset the slowdown in the US.

At the moment though, it's looking hard to see how Asia can pick up the baton as quickly as the world needs.

Which brings us to today.

The potential for a serious slowdown in global spending is spooking the markets.

But the markets themselves now threaten to exacerbate the very downturn of which they are so scared.

The Fed is spooked by the markets, so no wonder the Fed felt it needed to take drastic action. Even if it isn't going to work as well as it did in 2000, it might at least prevent markets and the economy driving themselves ever deeper in to a quagmire.

Realise what matters.

A subject for a great poet would be God's boredom after the seventh day of creation.

Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive.

He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.

I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.

I cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.

If there is something to pardon in everything, there is also something to condemn.

In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.

Morality is the herd-instinct in the individual.

Rejoicing in our joy, not suffering over our suffering, makes someone a friend.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

The future influences the present just as much as the past.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love.

Whatever is done for love always occurs beyond good and evil.

Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.

You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.

Here's how matters usually work out with me. I worry endlessly, then the subject of worry passes and turns out great, then I recount the details to a friend, who is usually sporting an exasperated "I told you so" expression.

So yus... debate was fun. A great way to release tension - having an argument - yet as it was in a class environment - no one was offended, regardless of how personal I may a c t u a l l y have meant the comments to be...

I feel the mood icon adequately expresses the fervour with which I threw myself into it today

désolé Estelle...

Ok enough of the French. I'm taking that there's no point in continuing... but then that would only be true if I were writing this for the benefit of others...

Experiencing random pangs of guilt at the moment. I hate making decisions, especially ones that affect others so much. But I'm reaching the point where I'm so stressed that I don't care anymore. Which is indefintely worse, isn't it?

The torment mood is in reference to the amount of people tapping my shoulder (or elbow as most of them are a lot shorter than me...) and asking me questions, of which I rarely have adequate responses to. It's not a feeling I appreciate, and one I intend to have sorted by tonight. That is if those supposedly in charge turn up...

Rant over, I'm now off to write that speech...
For your information, the reverend Dimmesdale, from the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, was a very bad man.

Parts of this are very, very wrong.
But it's the true parts that are making me worry... lol

Reasons for ragedness
1. ragedness isn't actually a word.
2. I've a 2 hour french exam tomorrow, and i was feeling fine about at. Then I was shouted at by a parent because I was so calm, so they thought I was being lazy and not working. So now I feel guilty for not working constantly even though I'm ready for the test...
3. Was grounded on birthday weekend for no reason.
4. Play rehearsals after school for two hours...

Frig thats the most complaining I have done. Ever

Now the good stuff...

Busy play rehearsal schedule means that I get off English Lit homework
MCR in Belfast this weekend!!!
and Tesco glow sticks! YAS

Thank you for reading this, Chloe ;] haha, love!
