Bingo. Havels awareness stems from higher awareness of hierarchal order. Systems are only as good as thier sensory organs. True. Systems can be no better than thier own Sensory Organs. True Systems disconnected from Input, Fail Catastrophically. True Systems whose goals are to shape by circular reference, contrivances to benefit the circle...are systems with poor sensory organs.....True. Poor Sensory Organ development is a function of selection. True. Poor Sensory organ development is always Bought and Paid for, thereby assuring the systems goal seeking functions, are constrained within results that the systems claims are designed to support, therefore, always within the range of boundaries set by the systems control units.

acting man update: Gold, Technicals, Fundamentals, Sentiment A comprehensive update of gold technicals, including e-wave counts with projections for both bullish and bearish alternates for gold and the HUI, plus a look at the current state of the most important fundamental drivers of the gold price. Lastly, an overview over the current sentiment picture in gold and gold stocks, which is surprisingly subdued considering that gold is among the best performing asset classes of the year once again (probably a result of recency bias). All in all things continue to look OK for gold at the moment, in spite of the recent short term downtrend. acting-man.com

That would be the likes of Jeffrey D Sachs and others like him in positions of power: <Today’s reality is of a world in which wealth translates into power, and power is abused in order to augment personal wealth, at the expense of the poor and the natural environment. As those in power destroy the environment, launch wars on false pretexts, foment social unrest, and ignore the plight of the poor, they seem unaware that they and their children will also pay a heavy price. Moral leaders nowadays should build on the foundations laid by Havel. Many people, of course, now despair about the possibilities for constructive change. Yet the battles that we face – against powerful corporate lobbies, relentless public-relations spin, and our governments’ incessant lies – are a shadow of what Havel, Michnik, Sakharov, and others faced when taking on brutal Soviet-backed regimes.> <Jeffrey D. Sachs is Professor of Economics and Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University. He is also Special Adviser to United Nations Secretary-General on the Millennium Development Goals.> He is deep in the trough himself. I don't need any "Millennium Development Goals" thanks Jeffrey. Just leave me alone and get off my back and out of my pockets. Mqurice

This followed a rise of 697,000 ounces in October, the latest IMF figures show.
