The trouble is belief. What do people believe. When they go to vote, why do they vote for one group of another. This is the key. When people tell them we can make money digging this stuff up, which by all indications it appears to even the barely informed that it may be possible, why do they believe or fear otherwise? Why in the end do they vote for morons, not Adlai Stevenson? Why do they trust Bernie Cornfeld and Enron and not people, who, by all accounts, really have something that is resourceful? It is amazing that Elisha Grey ever got his telephone off the ground at all. I have identified a gene in human kind that is similar to the one in lemmings. It is called the blind-follower gene. It makes children follow their parents and not leave home long after they realize that the capi familias are not the true fonts of wisdom. It makes people follow "authority" and vote for la liberals and lala NDP. It makes people think that it is needed to put a man on the moon when 30% of the people in the US are in poverty, and that institutionalized theft is the modus operandi of the all the haves and the big have, la gouvernmentalis. No matter how many times you run doggie's nose in the gold dust they still pooh all over the exchange floor. They even tell you gold dust is not food. How silly. I think it is better to steer a car by hand, not remote control no matter what psyentelligists tell me. I keep wringing my hands and asking myself, what is wrong with a million ounce of proven, highly profitable, no need to market-it product? Was I born stupid? I realize that I am small and weak, but why do all the small and weak people believe that they have to remain comatose and let all the crooks make all the money? Why do they believe what their broker or the whisper's tell them and not their own mind? Why do they have to ask other people at all? Are they that ignorant of evident value? I keep imagining what as soon as I let down the receiver the casual investor is immediately contacted by Osama bin Laden, disguised as an RCMP officer, and who makes vague threatening noises to them. "Invest in that POS, Osama bin Mountie says on the blower to the incredulous sucker, "and you will lose all your money, failing that, we will blow up the mine, failing that we will never issue it permits, failing that, if we cannot tax all the gold back to us, we will blow you up next time you try to start your car." "BTW", bin Mountie continues, "how would you like to invest in the Time Mortons me and my fellow Muslim officerists are starting on your block. Everyone eats donuts. Gotta be a winner. We are all putting our life's savings in, all we need is for you to mortgage your house and give us 400 thousand for ten percent, and hey! no one would dare try to compete or otherwise fick with us." Even I would believe that. People that tell the truth sound like liars. People who know what they are talking about sound ignorant. People who need guns to go to work with, are people you can trust. All hail the rich Mr. Ford, for we have voted him power, or die. EC<:-}
