Earlie, excellent comments. I think it was Jefferson who said he would would be willing forgo all the articles in the Bill of Rights except one freedom of the press because he trusted that the public would do the right thing if properly informed. Jefferson would applaud the internet for its power to inform. Mike

Earlie, your comments remind of a quote which is relevant to today's mania from The November 1997 issue of the Richebacher Letter he quotes " The Great Slump, Capitalism in Crisis" Goronwy Rees Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London 1970 ...... ' It is not so much the folly of the ordinary man who played the market during the stock exchange boom as the folly of those to whom he looked for advice and guidance which is most striking. In some cases of course this was more, or worse, than folly. Many of those who offered advice were personally interested in the continuation of the Bull Market." The Richebacher Letter, 1217 St. Paul St., Baltimore, MD 21202 Mike
