very funny but sadly true quote about history

"History brims with financial manias, from the real estate bubble collapse in Athens in 333 BC to the Mississippi Bubble in 1720 to the US Cotton Panic in 1837 to the French Credit Mobilier Debacle in 1868 to the The Great Crash in the US in 1929, and on and on. The lessons are ignored and the errors repeated. To the game's players, every financial mania is new. Perhaps history is not composed of facts after all. Maybe history is a language in which the dead speak to the deaf."

Here's an interesting page on how much oil we still import from our nemesis Saddam -- An average of 525,000 barrels each day!! Hmmm...
