>>Gives money to the families of the victims of the WTC as if this would repair the damage done.<< We do this so their loved ones do not become starving beggars on the street. >>They are forgetting that the US is a Christian country.<< We are a secular country. >>The US needs plane loads of immigrants to dilute the 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' of the WASP mindset.<< The 'eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth' thing is typical of more primitive societies with religous/ethnic/tribal divisions. Lots of people want to come here because we are a tolerant society governed by the rule of law.

<Pride rather than reason. ...Little Bush (Brazilians call Big Bush the father and Little Bush the son) wastes an historic opportunity to change directions and change the US for the better in this moment the whole world stands behind it and the American people is in total solidarity.> Interesing timing on this disaster... as the U.S. slides into deep recession that was on the way in any case, even the republicans are very likely bail out any industry with problems in order to save face...as if the WTC is the entire problem. At a time when those who would observe the business cycle as something 'that happens' are at an all time low, those who look at our standard of living as a 'right' has soared to god knows what % of the population. THIS is a very important change that has taken place in our society as a whole which makes Gold a compelling investment. DAK
