Hillary is honest despite: Le Metropole members and internet, A highly sophisticated source has informed me that he understands that a blind trust set up for Hillary Clinton, shorted gold financial instruments just before the Bank of England gold sale announcement on May 7, 1999. If true, it is an outrage and is further anecdotal evidence of the conspiratorial nature of the Bank of England gold sales and of the high level nature of the manipulation of the gold market. Nobody could be so lucky as to have made $100,000 on a $1,000 investment in cattle futures and then have someone else just happen to SHORT gold for them immediately prior to that extraordinary gold sale announcement. The trading activity in a blind trust of a major public figure such as Hillary Clinton must be a matter of public record. It would be of help to the Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee if someone on the internet could help me access these records. A matter of such sensitivity ought to warrant a statement by the Trustees and its auditors. All the best, Bill Murphy Chairman, Gold Anti-Trust Action Committee lemetropolecafe.com gata.org

Herc, I really believe most of you on this thread (especially you Herc) need to get out a dictionary and understand the definitions of the terms you are throwing around. A liberal need not be a Democrat, need not be a Communist, need not be pro big government, need not be fiscally irresponsible, and need not be a dumping ground for all of your pent up frustrations at those people who may be Democrats, Communists, pro big government, and fiscally irresponsible, etc. I took the time to look up liberalism in the dictionary and I can't think of a better description for for the type of person I would like all of our children to grow up to become. So here it is in the proper format (from Webster's): To be a liberal, you have to believe in..."a political philosophy based on belief in progress, the essential goodness of man, and the autonomy of the individual and standing for the protection of political and civil liberties." Doesn't that sound great? I wish we were all liberals. mc
