I can't get very excited about Tibet, or even Iraq, which is at least current. <now that we have concluded on japan, tibet, cia, nz, and whatever else, plus what you do not know, we can get back to gold > It does amuse me that you are so hot on panty-sniffing though. Of all the things that happen, you seem to find that one oddity worth commenting on over and over. Ah, here it is. Good old Google. "Projection" en.wikipedia.org Gold, money, cyberspace, Qi, there is a LOT of fun to be had and everyone can share in it, rather than vicariously watch some horrors from Iraq in which a tiny number of people on the planet are involved. Everyone every day is moving money, getting things done, doing things, having children, or not. Digging gold, or doing something more useful. There are 6 billion of us and less than a billion are messing around in Iraq. Heck, it's only about 1 million on the front lines. That's 1 person in 6,000, which is not a lot in the long and large trends of human history. Meanwhile, gold at $750. Not really far from the $2000 Mq said was in the offing. But still far from the US$10,000 I calculated as being a financial reset price, which I don't believe we'll reach. Since the housing bust has now been going for 2 years, [or is it 3 - time passes quickly these days] and there hasn't been insurrection and collapse, and the liquidity crisis is now months old and implosion hasn't happened, I am hopeful that as with the Biotelecosmictechdot.com bust there will be a reasonably gradual realignment of forces, bankruptcies, market clearing, and financial relativity theory adjustments to put things back on track, without a cascading collapse. CB is diligently, and profitably, processing loads of such adjustments. Each one takes some more financial pressure off. Or, puts pressure on if you think of displaced and dispossessed people roaming around in a less happy state of mind than they enjoyed a few years ago when they were full of hubris and Gung Ho to sort out Osama in Iraq. As one can see from King George II's popularity, which is down from 95% post 911 [or thereabouts] to record lows, there has been some self-evaluation and rethinking. The great thing about democracy is that they can all blame it on King George II, vote for the Clintons again, and move on, with Bill and Hillary in the White House again, replaying the marvelous [in retrospect] 1990s.
