They say a rising tide lifts all boats...
Edited on Tue Aug-16-11 02:36 PM by JHB
...but tides rise from the bottom up.

The deluge from a bursting bubble from on high just swamps everyone, and the little guys the most.



Just a passing thought while bailing after record rains.

1. If you're not even in the boat in the first place, you just drown.
Or at the very least, you're left back onshore.

2. A rising tide doesn't lift boats tied to posts...
And most of us can't afford boats anyways. We live in beach cabins, which don't rise, but are merely washed away.
