Alright Robert, you're on. I'll send you $20 the day you come back with a report from a personal visit in Toronto. Not really much, I know, but if a dozen others come up with that, it should cover a healthy portion of your expenses. You know, that which Baldur uncovered at the NQB site about how the SEC expects a higher level of accountability than they themselves are willing to commit to, made me think of Cyberken's comments that we give our personal freedom away to government agencies to do things for us, but the amount of freedom we lose is usually greater than the benefits enjoyed. On the other hand, if the SEC did have a truly legitimate cause for halting LEAH, then I will be grateful, because they did so on the very day I would have bought some more shares. But right now, I don't feel one bit grateful, I feel robbed by the SEC. I appreciate the federal agency, the FDA, a whole lot more for helping diminish the risks I might take with my health, which risks I do not wish to take, but I would like to see the SEC have a little more of a laissez- faire attitude towards those of us who DO wish to take great risks through investing our own money. I know that comparing the FDA and the SEC is a poor comparison, but it is how I see it in light of the freedoms we lose versus the risks we take. I am quite confident that Leah will some day be seen as the company I believe it to be, in the mean- time though, it looks like I'm holding some very expensive wallpaper.
