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 [2]. (That is, depending on the JBT [3] 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 [5] is available online, free at the Blue Letter Bible web site [6]. Their search engine works great, and they make lots of other translations available for comparison, including Greek and Hebrew.
