Wong (also OT) Interesting list and hard to argue with. I imagine some countries would move if the poll were taken today, then again if taken in another 10 days. Events happening so fast over the last year that polls are outdated by the time the information is compiled. All - if you haven't seen the PBS Frontline report on campaign finance abuses, make an attempt. Just watched and it's a horror story. Anyone that watches will move the US far lower on the Corruption list. Ron

** OT ** The Nordics crowd the top of the list. Oh, my! Now what corruption could we possibly have in the United States? Aside from what Ron has stated... Well, for one, I was told by a very reliable source earlier this year that we have more than one banking institution in this country owned and operated by "organized crime." The FDIC has reported as much to Congress. Fat chance they'll ever do anything about it. Also, I wonder what correlation we might find for opposing the TI table w/ one I've seen that defines each nation's legal system? You may have seen this already, WONG, but just in case... pei-intl.com If I had a stamp of approval, I'd have to mark Mr. Armstrong's commentary with it. There was only one point I readily disagreed with. About LTCM. He, himself, makes the point for me when he mentions transparency. The Nazz100, up big-time earlier, just cut itself in half on the Globex. Probably some of it to do w/ all the YHOO traders and contingent speculators. We'll see later on, I guess.
