thanks... I always enjoy hearing anything from him. Wish he would post on SI again, but oh well.. his views are interesting, but do you have any idea how I can trade on the following information ? :) <g> Date: Thu Aug 21 2003 14:33 trotsky (Cowpoke, 13:33) ID#377387: Copyright © 2002 trotsky/Kitco Inc. All rights reserved 70,000 years is the frequency with which 'a' caldera tends to erupt somewhere on earth as far as i know ( incidentally, the last occurrence WAS 70K years ago ) . Yellowstone erupts every 600,000 years, and is also due , since the last eruption was in fact 600,000 years ago. the caldera that went 70,000 years ago ( name escapes me now ) created nuclear winter conditions on earth that destroyed some 80% of all animal and plant life. one theory says that humans are so closely related genetically because only a few thousand of our ancestors survived the event. if it were to happen nowadays, some 4 to 5 billion people would probably die in a very short time, and the industrial age would give way to a 'dark age'.

I find his first point about the mess in Iraq to be right on. I was watching Fox Fictional News the other day (sometimes I can't help myself. The lies are addictive) and a talking head said that "Post-war Iraq has become a situation that nobody predicted before the war." Shoot, Janeane (sp) Garafolo predicted it, and she's no rocket scientist. In fact, the comic strip "Mallard Fillmore", poked fun at her prediction after the "mission was accomplished". Yet, Fox would have us think that an insurgency was something that could not have been foreseen even by our leaders in Washington. I guess the folks who watch Fox Fictional News really don't know any better than to question what they hear.
