<<But haven't they backed up their currency with a large percentage of gold??>> You forget, Europe heavily sold & or leased their gold reserves(yes,btw I caught the wink, wink, nudge, nudge). <<Europe has some tremendous problems with its social liabilities. It desperately needs economic restructuring and maybe the EU federalization plan could provide the impetus.>> But doesn't it seem the EU is moving Europe into a worse not better socioeconomic situation - or at least equally bad in more uniform manner than before? <<The US definitely has some problems, but at least we're taking greater steps towards "taking our medicine" than is Europe or Japan.>> And then there is the rest of the world which seems, mostly, in even worse shape....

OT. If I remember correctly there was some discussion on this thread shortly after Sept.11 about this subject. Those Russians sure know how to hurt a islam terrorist feelings.. :o) Chechen Terrorists to be Buried in Pigskin 08:07 Oct-31-02, 25 Cheshvan 5763 According to the Moskovski Komsomol newspaper, Russian security forces have decided to bury the terrorists from last's week's hostage siege wrapped in pig's skin. The aim is to deter potential Islamic terrorists from future attacks. Shahidi (Jihad martyrs) believe by their nefarious acts that they ascend immediately to heaven. Using their beliefs against them, wrapping their corpses in 'unclean' pigskin prevents them from entering heaven for eternity. israelnationalnews.com
