CB, Re: The real Ray Duray shows his face at last! Funny, I never would have figured you for an IMF/World Bank/New World Order type of guy. You are a master of the non-sequitor! Good grief! CB, are you suffering alcoholic incapacity? (Refer to my previous post on Bombay Sapphire, highly recommended.) I've no idea how you might deign to lump me in with the Camdessus's and Tri-Lateralists of the world simply because I state the obvious fact that there is a dangerous game of tax evasion and social irresponsibility going on with the Caymans/Isle of Man/Guernsey/Netherland Antilles deceptions that so many heavy-weights in the banking universe are loathe to rid themselves of because they are so "convenient". For the record. I think the World Band and the IMF (along with EBRD) have outlived their usefulness and are zombie bureaucracies that need to be taken down. Not anaethesized, but exterminated with extreme prejudice. They are dysfunctional. As is the WTO to a large degree. They all are serving the thinnest sliver of humanity who are the least in need of further wealth accumulation compared with the bulk of humanity. They all serve the richest element of the financial cabals that control the world's economy. Much to the detriment of most of us. I'm not sure what else to say to you. You completely misunderstand my mindset. Perhaps to clear things up, you might want to know that I'm largely in agreement with the arguments of Jeffery Sachs and William Greider in regard to international banking and trade. I'm certainly not to be considered an apologist for the WB/IMF/WTO parasitism and/or cancer. Or was your remark totally tongue-in-cheek and I've succumbed to the bait once again? Salaams, Ray
