Aw Dave, Ya missed this ? *** If America really is going to go the way of Zimbabwe...perhaps we ought to check in and see what it will be like. Herewith, a note from that benighted land: "Zimbabwe is becoming a really interesting place. It's the only country in the world where your largest note - $500 - can't buy you a beer, which is $650. "A roll of 1-ply toilet paper costs $1000. There are about 72 sections on the average roll, so it is cheaper to take your $1000, change it into $10's, wipe your bum on 72 of them and get $280 change. dailyreckoning.com

Once when one of these snipers was caught and faced with the man he had shot in the arm, his only explanation was, "But I thought it was a big pigeon". I can understand that. When you are shooting indiscriminately from the tops of buildings they all look like pigeons after a while. This passage did not explain where he got the money for ammo, when everyone else was starving. Maybe selling pigeons for sandwich meat. Pigeon times are coming. Max.
