Gidday Jay. What? You mean a mob rioting in the streets doesn't hold street meetings to decide which cars to overturn and burn and which business premises to loot and burn. They wouldn't do anything to my nausages sitting in the bank would they?

As the rioting mob nears the bank, somebody would say, "Whoa youse guys. I think this is where Mq has his hard-earned money and it wouldn't be fair to take that. Hey, look over there, some genuine fat cat capitalists ... let's go."

However, I've been around long enough to know that when the opportunity to vote to take somebody's money presents itself, there's a lot of enthusiasm.

6 billion people surging into the 21st century in the midst of WAT, WTC gone, Japan's financial flows teetering, Argentina in big trouble, Brazil dodgy and lots and lots of other destabilizing variables, is a very, very big experiment with potential for major mayhem.

But there are pressures in the direction of stability too, such as trillions of dollars surging around looking for a stable and profitable position. People respond to payment and there are trillions of dollars moving around, smoothing the bumps, paying people to do good things.

PS: How about that gold-coated micro-cantilevered thiolated single-stranded DNA and Graviton.com? Pretty cool eh! I don't think the Aztecs have a chance up against that. They couldn't even pronounce it. I bet you liked the gold part.

Au in Japan will be selling this CDNA thiolated Au-coated stuff pretty soon. [Au is KDDI's marketing company for CDMA].

Hi Jay,

Re: democratic class wars and cleansing revolutions, subjects I do know something about from experience as opposed to text books, tends to not discriminate finely, and is bad for wealth of all flavors.

Reminds me of the question posed to Chou En Lai a few years ago asking what he thought of the French Revolution. His reply? "To soon to tell."
