    So, I've been rolling this around in my brain for awhile and, frankly, haven't posted it because it sounds crazy to me too. But, considering I get ridiculed for whatever I post and no one knows me from Donald Rumsfeld, in here, I thought I'd throw it out there and see how the rest of you respond.

    In the past couple of years, but in an accelerated manner since this "economic meltdown" became evident, our government has been completely irresponsible (more so than decades past) with tax dollars.

    They're spending like there's no tomorrow.

    Maybe there's not. And, maybe they know it.

    My economic professors told me years ago that our national debt would get so high the only way we would remedy it would be my monotizing the debt either with a currency devaluation........or hyper inflation which is on the way.

    The moon is moving further away, not closer.

    I'm not totally convinced that hyper inflation is unavoidable.

    Why? And, how fast? And, what if the force causing that changed or is changing?

    I took astronomy in college a while back and if I recall, the solar wind reduces the moon's mass a minute amount every year. Since there is less mass to be attracted to the earth's gravity, the moon moves away at a rate of something like 15 feet every 100 years.

    I could probably look this up.

    Cool. So, it eventually just flies off into space? Or, does the reduced mass eventually cause earth's mass to attract it even faster?

    I'm no physicist or astronomer.

    The reason the is the way it is so finally all nations will agree on the NWO and one currency.

    Kinda like the WTC attack made America agree on going to war same technique.

    Yonivore dove-tailing with Naomi Klein? The bigger the crisis, the bigger the power grab.

    I'll share mine with you. I've been saying for years that Bush's reckless borrow and spend policies were intentional, with the end of driving New Deal/Great Society en lements over the cliff. Mission nearly accomplished.

    I'd applaud if in doing so he hadn't put our grandchildren and great-grandchildren in hock, and debased the USD (guaranteeing a declining standard of living) for us all.

    Tidal friction.

    1-3 cm/year

    And, what if the force causing that changed or is changing?
    Gravity.

    It's moving away because of tidal friction? I've never heard of friction repelling.

    Okay.[/quote]

    Wouldn't that be bad?

    And, if nothing is perpetual, wouldn't the velocity of the moon slow, even without all these other factors? And, if it slows, wouldn't it, eventually, fail to fall past the earth?

    Argument from ignorance.

    Gravity has no qualitative value.

    I thought last night was the closest the moon has been to earth in awhile.

    That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

    Are you sure that wasn't Tpark bending over?

    You guys keep up the good work and keep Yonnie busy in this topic. I am going to use this opportunity to take a peek at some of the 9/11 topics. brb.......

    This scientific topic is too much for someone of your ilk. Just stick to the Bible.
