Any sort provided it has some bars of gold attached …..

Patrice – thanks for that link to your article. I shall need a while to get my head round it …. it is an absolutely fascinating subject and your article an “out-of-the-box” take on it. It is also one that doesn’t often seem to get talked about much, at least not in the circles I move, though I may of course be moving in the wrong ones.

What form of mail out did you want?

There is BIG trouble coming from China,which is a DiCTATORSHIP. The leadership is worried about its own position in the face of demands for “change” and will certainly play on the people’s innate nationalism instilled into them over generations.

The west’s greed and stupidity have only encouraged China.

My point about Grece is that basically I don’t want my money used to bail them out. I have had my own severe financial problems and nobody has bailed me out …… I only blame myself and the Greeks can and should only blame themselves. We all must live within our means and stop demanding handouts. Unfortunately, the example set re the banks last year was terible … now everyone expects a bail out.

PS Please feel free to mail me out if you insist …..

Modestia “moderation,” from modestus “moderate, keeping measure, sober,” from modus “measure, manner”.

One does not think deeply about common events, least one be an ant…

More seriously, big thinking is for big events. Americans and Chinese did not exert moderation, they kept undercutting Europe with their competitive devaluations. After the dismal Chinese show of raw asinine brutality at Copenhagen, Europe has apparently decided to play hard ball. Good. I tip my hat. It’s a wolf hat I use in the mountains, among the snows.

Well no one could accuse you of having modest ideas!

Chris:
No panic. This is not such a bad development.
Indeed the Euro was way too high relative to the Sino-American currency. No doubt the sneaky ones in the arcane vaults of European government monetary and economic policy are delighted to see this “problem” unfold throughout Southern Europe.

After all, after talking softly, for years, it’s time to use a big stick.

One can, and ought to crack down on, Greece, China and the USA. That Northern Europe’s discipline shall be imposed on Southern Europe is good. Just as it is going to be good to dismantle the plutocratic infection in Britain.
