I was going to let you off the hook but naw, forget it... You're right, Ray, I'm probably not deep enough to have a meaningful debate with such a self-proclaimed 'debate aficionado' as yourself. (Remember, only with nanotechnology can they measure my depth now - in nanometers). As for conscience, I'm certain that Mandela and Gandhi - were he alive today - would have a thing or two to learn from you about conscience. You beat me, and them, hands down. As for your issues, it is quite fascinating to follow these issues (the conspiracy theory websites abound, especially the ones about UFOs hitting the WTC - your personal favorite - although the "You have just won $10,000,000" flashing banner ads are a little distracting, aren't they?), Not being as smart as you, and not being debate aficionados, there is precious little most can do to remedy these problems. This thread is full of the discussion of BBR issues and how they impact one's financial planning and decisionmaking. Ah yes, the exquisite difference between things you can and can't control. Will the Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories impact the market in Q2 or Q3? How about the National Security Act of 1947 impacting Internet Security stocks next year? I'll scan the Wall Street Journal, Barrons and The Economist for clues and let you know. But I have digressed... Thus, without further adieu, you are henceforth in charge of full investigation and redress for any and all inequities in the issues you raise. There will be complete accountability, Ray, so make no doubt about it, mere debate will not be recognized as progress. You are expected to act in a way that only results in a full resolution of the issues you raised to the complete satisfaction of all injured parties. You'll be so busy with these you won't have to worry about wasting energy debating when we could be fixing. Remember, Ray, only solutions matter. Here are the deliverables YOU raised: 1) The classified information contained in the National Security Act of 1947 2) Fletcher Prouty 3) Buzz Krongard and Mena 4) Gary Webb As for the phone call (?), I know you suffer from ADD and so I tried but you were on the line with Ralph Nader. (Good luck). As to my penname 'Taikun', Ray, you should know by now. It doesn't matter. Especially to you. Neither does your name. Noone cares if you call yourself Manure John. I'm John Smith. Yes, I'm in the phone book, Ray. I'm in all of them. Call every one of me. Ray, you're so smart. Ray, you're the man!. We're counting on you, Ray. Oh, and one more thing Ray: No excuses on the above deliverables.
