Crossroads? Um, no, I would say that the closest crossroad we came to was on Tuesday, the 11th of September, 2001, at about 0730 local time.

A couple of hurricanes and "High" oil prices means a tough go for the next few years, but don't kid yourself... the only thing that people are going to remember of the start of the 21st Century is the WTC and the people involved.

Even if (god forbid) terrorists launch another plan and the loss of life is a magnitude measured by exponents, people will still point to that Tuesday and say "That's where it started."

And using the example of the Great Depression: It was that one Tuesday, October 1929 that the market fell. "Black Tuesday" it was called.

People remember one event, one person, one document; they don't remember a watershed of little events.
