Hi Maurice, <<400 floors of building and 3000 people killed is not even noticeable ... lower than trivial ... man falling head first, knee raised, after jumping ... The symbolism in that is traumatic ... end of the world ... For him ...wars are economically productive ... it was only paper, desks, paintings and stuff which was destroyed - the computers kept humming without missing a beat ... WTC attack won't reduce globalisation ... increase it ... identification of people becomes more sophisticated ... computers monitor irises, facial features and voice wave forms and are linked to government databases>>

I will delay my beach trip for all the time it takes to point you into the darkness, not long, and prevent the weaker minds from casually surrendering to what is so obviously a wrong from below the equator, not difficult.

My summary for your illumination: WTC911 was about deeply embedded and long built-up grievances, about democracy promised but not delivered, about wealth exploited but not shared, about hope made fanciful by TV but not made real by global leaders, about heartless monarchies put in place and supported by thoughtless motorists, about crowds ready to be manipulated, and above all, about the settling of scores.

The act was about desperation for power born of weakness, and about the sacrifice of the innocents due to hopelessness, all to make a shockingly terrible point.

The point was not taken well, from Washington to Beijing, from Moscow to New Delhi, and the crowds on all sides surged into unthinking action, led by now frightened leaders, cheered on by blind media, and yet, the problems below the line-of-sight is not getting addressed, at all, simmering for another expression.

Count on it, Maurice, soon we will be talking about final solutions and termination points, fail-safes and point-of-no-returns. These talks will inevitably follow utterances about computers that track irises and people who track facial characteristics. It is the script, as old as Aztec metal, as inevitable as Nasdaq at 900.

My observation for your light: WTC911 was a flash symptom of a chronic disease, which unthinking denial and unquestioning fury will not cure. Your failure to discern the truth from facts will not result in QCOM going up, because it will go down, because you are right, for <<It's a small world after all>>

Once more, save yourself.

Chugs, Jay
