The earth's plate tectonics are in constant motion and help us determine where the geographic stress points reside but do little to predict the timing of eruption. Likewise the behavioral political and idealogical plates move constantly but we impose time deadlines that force collisions. There will be plenty of "forced collisions" in the next seven months:
G8 Summit -Chicago 5/18-19; Nato Summit - Chicago 5/20-21; G8 Leaders Camp David 5/15-22; Iran Bagdad Talks 5/23;
Supreme Court rules on Obamacare - June; Operation Twist ends - June; Full Iran Sanctions - 7/1; Greece & Spain turmoil continues - Euro at risk; November Presidental Election; Bush Tax Cuts expire - December; $5B Mandatory Budget Cuts - Jan. 2013;
The question is - do the plates scrape past each other or do they collide?
