Hi Krystine! The dirty little secret is that there has to be big losers if there are going to be big winners. Before all the "It's not a zero sum game" comments roll in I contend that it is not a game at all, but survival itself, for the ones that the rich people are toying with. So the game is only a game from the top, not from the bottom. -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
