I was asked by a consulting client what would happen if the “Occupy America” protests transition from “acute” to “chronic”. I told him that I think that the outcome might be a lot like the fate of the World War I veterans’ Bonus Army, in the 1930s. (That is, depending on the JBT proclivities of the particular States where the protests are held.) There is an old Japanese proverb: “The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.”

2011 is the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. I consider it a great translation, without the political biases of some of the recent translations. (The NIV has some particularly wretched political correctness.) The KJV is available online, free at the Blue Letter Bible web site. Their search engine works great, and they make lots of other translations available for comparison, including Greek and Hebrew.
