Hello Terrence. Off Topic. Democracy is a relatively new concept to the realm of politics from a historical perspective.. And it is rarely carried out in its full intention. Communism as an ideal was not that bad an idea. In the end it is controlled by a select few and this leads to theIf you analyse what goes on in any form of politics whether that be domocracy, communism, dictatorship or many variations of inbetween. We live in a consumer based society, one in which everyone competes to produce as many widgets as possible and devise as many ways as possible to convince the public that they need that widget and must have it. Look at how many brands of any one product is available in the stores. Do we really need this much choice.? And so the story goes. Given the choice I would gladly live in a democratic society. The choices and opportunities far outweigh the negatives. That is not to say we should not work to remove some of the inequities from our society. There are inequties with many self-serving groups that lobby for special beneifts which further demishes the general good and well-being for all. One thing I do like with this stock. It appears that the management is considerate of the people and local concerns. I believe all mining companies should be as concerned with leaving the environment in as good a condition as it was before they came. A lot of these words, such as religion, democracy and communism can stir up an emotional side and are indeed, red-letter words and thus can create a good deal of anomosity between individuals. I do not wish to get into that type of discussion for I believe it serves no worthwhile purpose. As long as we can openly discuss this or any other topic, this is the main thing. I am no expert in these fields and will leave these discussions to those more qualified than I. Good luck to you. Gene
