<All human activity is about control ... anybody wanna challenge that statement?>

I know after 35.75 years my wife won't let me control her! <VBG>

Thanks for your comments about RNG. "the Islamic Republic of Mauritania", one can almost accuse me of being political for even reciting it !. Nevertheless, you mentioned my Inmet earlier; one of its major mines is in Turkey so really the same risks may apply. Also the fact that the project loan is "non-recourse" is reassuring, too.

It is perhaps a good example of why one can expect higher returns because of the perceived risk of foreign investments... the case for universal investment. One sure thing, if Tasiast was in Quebec or Mexico RNG's price would be higher, (and therefore its returns, lower).

Marcos : You might have said much of the confusion in human activity is caused by the madness of the need to control aspect of our character . Loss of sense loss of feelings .

Cooperation phyc is a whole other dimension of reality and includes the thought that peace and love come from simple acts of kindness .

Separating mans desire to want to kill a competitor to his as natural wanting to love . Difficult but doable .

JM, leader of a fabled rock and roll band, who died at 27, said that "all the world is about a will to power". He made that narrative observation against the foreground of images of King Kong and Adolph Hitler. The statement was from a documentary he made at UCLA film school where he was in a class with the then would-be film maker Oliver Stone.

Now, I would challenge your statement with reference to political cases, but it would not be much of a challenge, and in the context of the recent chiding by our master on political issues suddenly and challengingly off topic. I suspect you laid the tongue in cheek bait for the tangentially inclined who are outraged at world events to hijack the thread into grim reminders of man's inhumanity to their political outlook. I merely suspect that. To get you to admit it would take more wine than I can afford.

Times and circumstances have never stopped being grim. Times have never stopped being trying. A gratuitous segue from this to a hypocritical observation to stay on topic might be that man has never stopped trying to grab the limelight with his pet inventions and theories either.. if he dares.. and the market is such a populist rabble rousing enterprise with the least nobility of demonstration of such a precept.

Whereas Obrador said stuff that may be true, and at any moment in Mexico it could be true, that corruption and zeal blinded certain officials to perform such necessary election irregularities as happened, he left out important questions. Who stuffed more ballot boxes and whose electoral district had more gravestone names voting for which party? And even if you recount all those phony ballots how do you tell they are phony? And who would prevent a miscount even a second time? I figure if he had a group of enthusiasist who were willing to try to vote more than once, that counts. Quality should reflect quantity. Where the cause is pure, the means may not be so.

Calderon as far as I am concerned cheated his way to victory fair and square. He is the new corruptly elected of the country and we can all hold hand over heart and wish him luck with another 4 phony years of problems that won't get solved even if he was the landslide fair victor. Chiefest of which is how to build and economy that people want to live in more than they want to dodge the immigration police. Mexico's economy is actually pretty fair compared to Canada. The produce more GDP comparatively than the GWN. I have been trying to escape to Mexico for some time now and the border is like cement. It's getting out of Canada that is tough.

Stuffed ballots never have happened in Canada, and recounts have never needed demanding. We is honest. Honest. We is Canadians. We is above it all, and whats more, too bored and defeated to try to get one or the other Candidate elected.
What matters doesn't matter.
