siempre > your entire storyline is unworthy of you....it reeks of fatalism, surrendering your soul to the state

What's the alternative? Revolution? Not me. I saw what happened in the American Civil War. I saw what happened to the Russians. I can see what's going on in South Africa.

But I didn't surrender my soul. I watch everything like a hawk (albeit an old one). My concern is not only for a currency threat. In SA, we have to watch our backs, fronts, sides, everywhere.

Come on. You can't treat cancer with a cough drop -- even a golden one.

> I thought previously you gave some good & reasoned arguments, but this!?....

Thanks, even though you didn't like this one. Anyway, good luck. We all need it.
