Gold Tutor: How anyone could have perceived Bush as the Savior or even a Friend of the Gold market is beyond me. Richard was telling us all here during the campaign that Bush supported a weak dollar on behalf of the Farmer out in the midwest. Treasury Secretary O'Neill put an end to that Nonsense. At least half the American Population does not like Bush and what he stands for. Bush inspires many Investors/Traders to just Sell. The guy has no leadership skills IMO and very little substance. I support your stance on Abortion completely. Many on this thread have placed their faith in Bush. So I think it will take time before they realize that he is a farce and liar too.

Maybe we won't burn while we pan? Next Western Battle: Eureka, MT Log Haul A Sierra Times Announcement 05.10.01 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the Thursday, May 17th- the day before MLA's 25th Anniversary Celebration - folks in Northwest Montana are planning a "payback" for Jim Hurst. Hurst, the co-owner of Owens & Hurst Lumber Company in Eureka, has a bit of a reputation for organizing rallies in support of natural resource industries and the rural communities that depend upon them. Soooo...in January - after Owens & Hurst shut down for two weeks before cutting back to one shift, eliminating some 40 permanent jobs - a few folks headed by Ed Eggleston of Libby, decided that it was time to show some local support for Owens & Hurst. As these things go, a few other folks joined those folks…and, now, rumors are beginning to circulate that the crowd could swell to several thousand folks. So how did all this get started? According to Eggleston, the curtailment at Owens & Hurst, coming on the heels of mill closures at Olney and Seeley Lake, was too much to take; thus, he decided to cut a few 8 foot logs on his own property, haul them to Eureka in his pickup and donate them to Owens & Hurst. Eggleston quickly reasoned that if he was willing to cut his own trees for such a cause, then others might also be willing to participate. So he contacted Bruce Vincent - a renowned troublemaker with exceptional organization skills - and they developed a plan for an all out pickup convoy! Originally, they figured on a hundred loads from the south end of the county, with another hundred loads coming from the Flathead. "Then it just snowballed." Folks from as far as Nevada, California, South Dakota, and Washington have heard of the convoy and have asked how they can participate. "We won't let another mill close," Eggleston said. "We stop the dominoes from falling right here, and I want to start propping dominoes back up again." Reminiscent of the original Great Northwest Log Haul that delivered over 300 logging truckloads to the Darby Lumber Mill on May 13, 1988, the Eureka Log Haul is, in fact, the first actual "LOG HAUL" convoy since that great day. Yes, we've had convoys - but this one is designed to deliver wood along with a message. That message is clear. There is yet another family owned sawmill at risk of being closed while we sacrifice our forests to alter the politically correct fire. There is yet another economic centerpiece of a small rural community threatened with extinction. Yet another important piece of our rural, resource-providing culture is imperiled. There is absolutely no rational reason for this chain of events to continue. The Forest Service has the legal ability, the legal responsibility, to sustainably manage the forest surrounding our rural areas - particularly those areas that have been burned or are going to burn. It is hoped that this convoy will give the Forest Service and our new administration the courage to do the right thing - for our forests and our based culture. Our society has the obligation to consider what will happen to our precious forests if the forest managing culture is uprooted and destroyed. Just how the forests of our children will fare without a culture of forest caregivers is a picture that must be painted for our nation of concerned forest lovers. sierratimes.com

Men Pan for Gold Here, Women Over There Tuesday June 19 9:28 AM ET KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (Reuters) - Islamic leaders of a Malaysian state have added gold panning to the list of activities where men and women are to be kept apart. The Parti Islam se-Malaysia (PAS) Tuesday reopened an area closed for panning after nine people died in cave-ins in 1989. ``Men panners will operate separately from the women licensees,'' Terengganu Land and Mines director Ibrahim Abdul Rahman told reporters in the east coast state, according to the national Bernama news agency. Since taking office in 1999 PAS has set up separate queues for men and women in supermarkets and closed unisex beauty salons. Earlier this year leaders also proposed male and female lines at bus stops. PAS says the moves are in line with the party's aim of establishing an Islamic state nationwide. Leaders of the other PAS state, neighboring Kelantan, have passed similar measures since they took power in 1990. PAS governments have also banned gambling, closed Karaoke parlors and lounges and cut the number of alcohol outlets. Sixty-two people have been issued panning licenses, which will cost $7.89 a month, said Bernama. The government hopes that by licensing panners and taking charge of excavation at the 10-acre site it will prevent the reckless digging that caused the accidents 12 years ago. dailynews.yahoo.com
