Thank you for clearing that up at dKos, because Americans all seem to be in a panic about these sorts of issues. But they never actually take the time to think about the big picture of what these situations would actually mean.

From the reactions over there (none / 0)

I doubt I have convinced many, sadly. The die hards are still at it, explaining to me that it's just a question of time and, guess what, that I am missing the big picture...

It may also be worth hammering the "And if so, so what?" point: That while holding T-bills as a store of value matters greatly to the stability of the dollar, the use of dollars vs. euros as a unit of account or as a medium of exchange isn't of remotely comparable economic importance. The dKos panic-stories confuse these issues.

Words and ideas I offer here may be used freely and without attribution.

Pretty amusing really. The same people that rail against intelligent design have no problem eating up this IOB/Peak oil disaster scenario stuff with a spoon.....
