<KJC and I weren't talking about US, whose fiat paper you are loaded down with;0) We were talking about the Japanese.>

Jay, I knew that. It just struck me that the list also applied to the USA. Neither has Japan suffered big deal losses to earthquakes and typhoons outside Kobe, which was only on the scale of WTC. Bigger, but similar scale.

Whether Osama or earthquake does the damage, the economy doesn't know the difference. Malevolence always seems so much worse than natural destruction - partly because of the promise of more to come with will behind it. Nature is indifferent, which in a way is some consolation.

I'm loaded down with fiat pixels. I don't even have the pleasure of holding a fistful of greenbacks which I could at least go down the street with and trade for food, cars, clothes and stuff. I hope the magnets on Uncle Al's computer don't demagnetize my pixels with accidental reverse polarity or anything silly like that. It took me a lot of effort to get those pixels on the screen.

Yes, I know that is leaving a wide-open opportunity for you to point out the non-magnetic nature of Au phragmented CDMA photons which are impervious to Uncle Al's deliberate or inadvertent destructive ministrations. I know you REALLY would prefer to point out the non-magnetic nature of Au in Aztec form....
