It wasn't 9/11 that really sent the stock market plummeting, it really wasn't Allen Greenspan's slow realization that the economy needed help.  In fact, it really wasn't the lying, cheating deceptive corporations or the over inflated dot com (.COM etc) values.  So what was it?  It's easy, your website (Public Issue .org) shows signs all over the place in many of its issues.  It the pessimistic, over theatrical news media and their irresponsible figure pointing.  All their excitement to cover negative news and pound it in to the ground, is good, but bad when the media continually scare their readers pants off.  Example; yesterdays news reported the stock market had tumbled  (08/05/2003) because a terrorist's bomb went off in India, which frightens investors worldwide.  Well, it didn't make me sellout and it didn't make anyone else I know run out and sell their stocks.  So where did the news get this earth shaking revelation and why didn't anyone else know about it but them?   Do they learn this in Press Coverage 101?

By the way, although it was terrible that 9/11 happened and horrifying to think 3000 or more innocent people from around the world lost their lives, millions of insurance dollars and corporate reconstruction creating new facilities, new jobs, better, more efficient high tech communications will replace whatever business was lost, and this includes the many businesses that were way behind in technology and burdened with pills of paperwork that will now be all electronic.  Again, please understand, I wish 9/11 didn't happen, but business in America did not die on that day, it's the press that's killing business in America.
