you are working with factoids, which are less than facts---more arbitrary bits of infotainment.
look at it this way--the self-evidence of your basic claims are counter-intuitive enough that you might consider making a serious argument in favor of them. of course you don't have to do it, any more than i or anyone else has to read any particular thread.
but if you think you're making a claim that might obtain for people who do not inhabit your skull, you might present a more complete case for it.

My point is that the bank failures in this country in 2008 are not cause for panic. the data I presented supports my claim. I agree that it is a "tidbit" of information, I even called it a "tidbit" of information. However, there is much more information to support my position, I have no interest in submitting a Phd. style dissertation on this board. The best you will get on a board like this are "tidbits" of information to support basic points. In my experience here, no one really wants to get to deep into any one issue. If you ever do, I am game.
