    You need to learn your history, this comfortable western world you know may change quite beyond recognition.

    The gov't also charges you VAT for all that tin-foil you need for your hats.;);)
    In case you hadn't already worked it out - the entire global financial system is predicated on the assumption that you're an idiot:cool:

    Sounds like a plot from a James Bond movie.

    Is Auric Goldfinger going to iradiate the worlds gold supply at Fort Knox and thus massively increase the value of his own, non-iradiated gold holding?.:D
    Anger ruins joy, it steals the goodness of my mind. Forces me to say terrible things. Overcoming anger brings peace of mind, a mind without regret. If I overcome anger, I will be delightful and loved by everyone.
