<<On Tuesday, by 12:15 p.m. London time, the world -- and the 18 or so gold investors in the world who care -- will know just how much demand there was for the Bank of England's auction of 25 tons of gold bars. See the gold auction announcement.>> And yet again there was another up move just prior to the sale! Either someone is manipulating it higher for the PROFIT of the MF's in the UK or someone had to buy it back prior to the sale... Either way, this is not the "transparent" transaction the UK said they were working for!

OK, here's one OT we should consider: The Cycle of Political Correctness by Jim Peron Political Correctness is like pornography: we know it when we see it, but nobody wants to define it. We know something is obscene because it offends us. It?s not obscene when it just offends someone else; they?re just being intolerant! I?ll try and define what I think PC means. It is a collection of beliefs which says that other beliefs are immoral and then tries to regulate or censor the immoral beliefs. As far as I can see this gets down to the fundamentals of political correctness. In our day the terms applies to a system of Left-wing beliefs, most of them obviously absurd, which judge the speech or thoughts of others and tries to control them. Not only does this cover the essentials, it also answers why no one else defines the term before condemning it. (cont) zolatimes.com
