...the rest of the world.

Crossing one troubled place after another off your list ("I'm crossing the atmosphere off my list, until it gets its act straightened out!&quot doesn't make you -- or any of us -- immune from consequences of disruption and collapse.

Yes, we could do some of those things.

But that theoretical "if" won't head off near-term trouble. Nor will your list make America immune from the consequences of whatever happens in Spain.

That's what I was suggesting.
