Thanks Jim,

On graft.. of course its here, though not as bad as most of the world. I think the common phrase here is ".. if you play ball," then you can join the insider club in whatever business you're in. I constantly get requests for work in this format. First there is the bid itself, then there's the hook which goes like this.. "If you give us a really cheap job this time, there's a ton of work we can give you later on."


Your comments make me realize how "GREEN" I am. Received same offer from an SVP of a US bank with $35+ billion in assets and I believed it :(.


My opinion of Starr is that he's a well intended but narrow minded man who's satisfied that life's answers and society's cures are found by confining behavior. By the way, how does one earn a million plus from private practice while also being paid by the government to run what I assume is a full time investigation?


Would agree that Starr failed in his mission and more so the republican party. That is one reason why this administration is getting so agresive in manipulating almost everything from foreign policy - e.g. Iraq or Sudan are good examples.

Same approach is in the world financial markets, including the US Stock market is manipulated in their favor.

The world, especially the US and Europe fought back both politically and economically. Higher valuations are allowed with the victors, that's the way the game is played. In order to complete your comparison of the pattern of Japan's crash to our markets I feel you must also conclude that the US grip on world economics is about to be usurped or resort to a more general opinion that all markets (of high powered countries and low), all run an economic cycle of boom and bust.

That is my point the US grip on world economics is coming to an end. The success of the Euro will facilitate this. Any businessman in Europe has the same feeling about the US as it was at the time against Japan. It's all just to similar.

Therefore I see an erosion in the US financial markets as money will flow to places were value is to be found and trade deficits are minimal or even surpluses
