Set forth below is the text of a comment that I recently posted to the discussion thread for another blog entry at this site:
No one agrees with you, but it really has nothing to do with you not getting a job. Why is it that everyone else is responsible for bringing in an income to support before and after retirement, but you don’t think that it applies to you? Why should you not have to get a job?
I’ve got the most important job in the United States today, Anonymous. My job is to open every site to honest posting re the last 42 years of peer-reviewed research, without a single exception. Executing that job successfully will permit everyone to live a fuller and richer and more fulfilled life than he or she imagined possible back in the Buy-and-Hold/Get Rich Quick days. We all need to move forward and we need to get every site opened to honest posting re the peer-reviewed research to make it happen.
My sincere take.

Your first job is to support your family, not fulfilling your fantasies.
Supporting my family is super important. I’ll give you that much.
But have you considered how much human suffering we will see with the onset of the next Buy-and-Hold Crisis in the event that stocks continue to perform in the future anything at all as they have always perforned in the past? I don’t want that on my concience. No freakin’ way, no freakin’ how. I want to be able to sleep at night.
I believe that it will work out in the end. I believe that as a nation of people we have goodness within us. We’ll see.
