So will it be soon?  Let's hope not.  Let's certainly hope that it does not happen in 2011.  Many of us need more time to prepare.  Most of our families and friends need more time to prepare.  Once this thing implodes there isn't going to be an opportunity to have a "do over".  We simply will not be able to put the toothpaste back into the tube again.
