Jerry, The item you posted i did not read nor intend to and its not that i'am not interested or concerned, as i am, but there are some many, or so much to the point that it seems that everything today is run by crooks for their corrupt ends, that well, best to just takes things momeent by moment and deal with them as they happen rather than try to change outcomes. Best to obtain a level of safety and comfort and spent energy to protect that which you now have rather than try for gains even when you feel you have wrongly or injustly been removed, or had removed, that which was yours. (but) Advice is easy to give and hard to listen to and even harder to take that which you give others as i'am a very good(aka bad) example since i have done what is called scorced earth and lead others down a path that they come to know as an entrance to hell on earth, and to this moment continue my ways full steam ahead using as fuel any mistakes made so that my goal to right wrongs will increase in quanity and quality, eventhought its wrong. :o) (also) The Uncle Bill Dutch thread is where an S.A. person who will do a Howard Co-sell reply posts. d:oug . from Jerry Miller at Aug 15, 2002 11:20 AM South Africa Pledges to Leave Mines Alone finance.canada.com.

When politicians say they will definitely not do something, it means that they don't want people to know that they are going to do it anyway if they find it necessary. What is interesting is that the article sets up all the iniquities that the blacks in SA perceive in the industry that they may want to change in some way. And then they say the government doesn't want to do anything about these things. Everybody can go back to sleep. Sure. And Mugabe will not take away the farms in Rhodesia from white farmers. He even said if white farmers really want to farm, they will be given land. They can come and see him. Isn't that nice. The ground has been getting soft in mining in SA for about 10 years now. Since the mid 90's SA companies and prospectors have been trying to get foreign money and saying "land claims" and title are "no problem". But obviously it is a problem as money has been scarce. Actually there was a window of opportunity to develop in SA for quick in and out enterprise, as in placer development, but Toronto did not like SUF's story about Platinum and diamonds. Part of it was predicated on Angola of course and that did not help. Canadian interest in mining money has evaporated. Real mines that could be developed anywhere have gone wanting for Cash. The feds have done their work. They found allies in the so called pro business suits in the provinces. Tech was king, and mining could go to hell. Everbody the liberals greased turned their back on gold as the price fell, and diamonds too. It was if it were a disease. Well it has not changed and the suits are still bashing metal harvesting. And grabbing all the money they can from oil. And keeping food prices firmly communist. When the politicians get their hands out of the pocket of business and stop promoting their friends to be CEO's their will be a hell of a lot less crookedness at the top and a lot more people working. *************** A lot of people doubt that anyone conspired to drive the price of gold down. I beg them to think again. There is not a major commodity in the world that is neither controlled by a government blessed cartel nor a thing that government does not have a vested interest in and hand in with banks. Wheat and milk they will tell you they manage outright. The sugar cartel is let be with their blessing. Oil is a government managed commodity with 80% of its price going to government coffers. If anyone gets silver cornered they will step in. Rents are stepped on routinely. But gold controlled? Who us people in federal government? "Where do you see our hand on that? We did it before.. sure.. but not now... No, its that the evil metal is in obvious oversupply and our banks don't need it anymore." Governments will tell you that they own the dollar, and they alone can decide how much of it to print. I ask you, is that a truth? Is it fair that they should control this medium? Whose dollar is it anyway? Whose gold? EC<:-}
