If you guys remember my initial posting; I just wanted to know what the List
says about it.
I did not say I agree or disagree, like it or not, but wanted to know if
there is anyone educated enough to enlighten me further. It was a typical
Friday posting, very innocent and right on line with the every day cries of
gas prices.
Apparently there was not many who did value the speach and most denigrated
the whole idea. But ones who know more than that and have swam deeper
oceans with bigger fish, were not surprised at all. In fact they consider
it normal and the way business is done if can be. Especially when we have
the worlds best military behind it.
Blue or red you will see the same results.
I have seen the gold and the diamond businesses work, manipulated, bought
and sold worldwide. Same thing.
And if I had a Vanagon factory I would do the same. I just would not have
any of the worlds greatest militaries behind me. Would the army of Vanagon
owners support me?
Now, back to work.
