Degrees of separation Jay, Since you are on the subject of ancient history, I thought I would mention this item in your uncle's book that piqued my curiosity. Here is the excerpt from the Amazon review... China Called Me, by Percy Chen amazon.com "Combined with the historical value, are the travelogues filled with personal anecdotes. His description of the road trip to Moscow in 1927, when he was commissioned by his father to take Borodin home, is classic. At one point, the caravan actually abandoned Anna Louise Strong, giving her up for lost in the middle of the Gobi desert. Fortunately, she had headed in the direction they would be traveling, and they just happened to spot her after they had despaired of finding her and headed down the road five or six miles." FYI, based on a little Googling I have reason to suspect that the above-mentioned Anna Louise Strong is one of my distant cousins. -Snow

Jay, well, I can trace my Froggy side back to 1621 Cool... we can trace our froggy side to around then in Quebec City, (I think 1630's as I recall) very early in its history. We never looked back to France though. Are you looking back to France or to colonies only ? Spots...

<CB put me on Ignore> That simply means you're stumbling [goose stepping?] very close to the truth. Hopefully the whole thread is on ignore... the last thing we need is those with no opinions. DAK

I tried putting myself on Ignore once here on BBR, and it was a strange experience, because I could not see my own postings. Proof that most of us listen mostly to ourselves instead of to the wisdom we supposedly bought access to when we plunked down those $$$ for a lifetime SI sub. A great post, Jay, one of many.

Hi Jay, Before you take time off from here, I wonder if you could explain this to me in terms I can understand. <<< All, except a few, will in time grow to strongly dislike the Greensputin/BurnAndKaput pair who ran a fraud not unlike the one described in Fiat Money Inflation in France>>> I don't see the connection. I am not an economist, but I think I am fairly good at judging people. I just don't think Alan Greenspan is a risk taker. I don't see him taking any risk for himself or for his country. He does not even invest his own money in the stock market. I think most of it is in low interest bearing treasuries and bonds. His speach pattern is so risk adverse that it is laughable - if one could understand what he is saying. There is nothing flashy in his dress, demeaner, or even in the way he walks. For you to tell me that this man is committing fraud in the open, for all to see, does not seem to jive with my life's experiences and judgements. I know Greenspan is an intelligent person, because that is what Ayn Rand told me. Perhaps you can explain it to me in simpler terms and I can be pursuaded to read chapter and verse your links. Regards, Mary
