And big socialist government perpetuates itself, once it reaches a certain critical time and mass.

I envy the Swiss approach to government where the Cantons are fierce supporters of individuality, and the 'president' is actually just a manager to travels to work on the trolley. Every year I think the 'president' is someone else, so the temptation to gather the trappings of power is much less. That is a real democracy.

Well -- what we do have in America is the independence of the American individual, free speech, and the traditional right to carry arms ( small ones anyway ) . As long as we maintain all of this, all is not lost, IMHO.

And -- we are not alone in the Universe as Apollo 14 Astronaut Edgar Mitchell has just said.

Let us hope that whoever or whatever intelligence in the Universe there is, sees our little blue planet and is helping us evolve. -- Into what I know we can be if we pull together -- an inquisitive spacefaring race -- just like the explorers of our past that risked the unknown on earth.

Our beautiful little blue planet must act like a beacon of life and ? to the rest of the universe.

So regardless -- we must keep what is good about democracy alive, so that we do not forget what it is like.

Let us hope that our US congressmen do not chicken out with the impeachment proceedings, just because they are facing a master at politics, and a master of lies. Why should they fear anything -- the next election is two years away!

A solid effort to follow established impeachment proceedings will go a long way to keep democracy alive.

I will worry if the impeachment process worked in 1974, but it fails to work now, with so much more evidence on the table.

Pharmaceutical firms' Year 2000 efforts should be available

for FDA review, CDER Director Woodcock states; FDA is not

requesting formal Y2K submissions at this time.

October 21, 1998 - Daily Ink

HEALTH-NEWS-DAILY, October 21, 1998, Page 3

PHARMACEUTICAL FIRMS' YEAR 2000 EFFORTS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR FDA

REVIEW, Center for Drug Evaluation & Research Director Janet Woodcock

states in an Oct. 14 letter to

industry. While FDA is not asking firms to make formal submissions

regarding Y2K efforts at this time,

the information should be available for FDA review, Woodcock says.

The pharmaceutical industry is expected to address the problem as a

high priority, to thoroughly assess

and test their computer systems and develop appropriate contingency

plans, and to complete this task

before January 1 of 2000, the FDA letter states. Y2K computer problems

could cause a variety of

problems for pharmaceutical manufacturing and development, the letter

notes. Of special concern, are

manufacturing processes, which if disrupted by Y2K could result in

severe shortages of needed

pharmaceuticals, Woodcock states.

For example, in the context of good manufacturing practice, erroneous

date calculations may result in

incorrect expiration dates, equipment maintenance/calibration

schedules, and batch performance trend

analyses, the letter explains. Some computer operated or monitored

manufacturing processes may also

slip out of control.

Nonclinical and clinical studies also may be affected by the Y2K

problem, which in the worse case

scenario would generate flawed data. The Y2K problem could also

disrupt tracking of 15-day

expedited reports and cause erroneous trend analysis, the letter adds.

Electronic record time stamps must

express the year in an accurate and unambiguous manner, as required

under FDA's electronic records

and electronic signatures rule.

Woodcock's letter also emphasizes the importance of supplier Y2K

compliance, noting that a disruption

in the flow of components, packaging materials and equipment, for

example, could halt or slow

pharmaceutical production, even if a dosage form manufacturer itself

has Y2K well under control. FDA

therefore urged manufacturers to work with their suppliers to ensure

there will be a minimum of

disruption.

Stock up.

We, the human equivalent of the hogs -- perhaps alot smarter -- but just as gullible. Not just Americans, but the world over.

Unfortunately -- all of this will not end voluntarily. And it will happen again -- until we as humans are far less gullible.

Keep ( some of ) your powder dry -- and watch for signs of a breaking wave. Or -- just buy the metal.

I guess the real question about Brazil is whether the IMF can be 'convinced' that Brazil is 'serious' about their belt- tightening, and the IMF bailout can go forward.

I think we all know the outcome of this, since the same thing was tried with Mexico in 1995, and now Mexico is now 60 billion dollars in debt due to unpaid obligations. I guess the Mexican leaders were unable to get the Mexican people to absorb the losses.

So, I think the scenario will go like this:

Brazil petitions the IMF to give some bailout funds. If the IMF refuses because Brazil's belt-tightening is insufficient, Brazil reminds the IMF of the 'consequences- too big to fail', the IMF relents, and releases some funds with strings attached.

If the funds are not sufficient to cover the short-term interest due, Brazial defaults now. If the IMF funds are sufficient to cover the current crisis, the current problem is diverted for a few months, with no clear resolution of the problem.

Either way, I do not see any real evidence that Brazil's debt problems have been averted, and what really matters is when the investors in Brazil realize they have been suckered.

With China and Mexico problems unresolved, any idea how long before the next big financial crisis hits the markets? A month? Two?

I'd rather be surfing real Tsunami rather than a virtual one, because at least then I would have some idea what's happening, and when.

If others would just ignore any posts by F* and those that think their trashing of F* is cute and right on, there would be no problem. Every time someone encourages those that offend F*, they enable these trashers. The same for those that side with F*.

PS: Watch the rates closely. Once they start moving up and a trend is established, watch the markets begin to tank and gold begin its ascent. I see the market going up for a while towards 10,000 until the rate rises sink in, then buy gold and gold shares with both fists. Our day will come, just hope I can live long enough because I'm aging at a faster rate than normal every day.

Best regards,

Pete

A casual glance at the daily charts for the S&P or DJ-30 sure looks like a 'blow off' type sentiment to me. Then again, what do I know? Uh oh, I think I hear incoming... Duck and cover.... or is that sell now and buy later Then again, it's Friday. Perhaps it is best to leave the party now? We can always decide what to do about it on Monday morning. :- ) )

Just think of all of those high level corporate types holding on to the company stock options that are below their strike price. What will they do in order to get the stock price up over the strike price? Perhaps the economy is not so robust, but, just what is the job market depending on these days? Stock prices or the selling of the companies products? Again, inquiring minds want to know. For now, day trading will do just fine, thank you. AND MIND YOUR LIMITS AND STOPS ( L&S's ) . :- ) )

Thanks ( unpresumptiously )

First off,according to my 1984 Webster's definition of Semite:A member of any of a group of Middle Eastern peoples,esp. Arabs and Jews.I have also read that Semite means a descendant of Noah's son Shem.

The recent debate on 'What is Judaism' never approached the obvious- Tribalism.The various tribes,of which we NorteAmericanos are the most familar are the Ashkenazy ( I guess actually sub-tribes of Judah and Benjamin ) or caucasian Jews.Some time in the 9th century the rulers of Khazaria ( an area near the Crimea and hence,the Caucas mtns. ) converted to Judaism and made it the state religion.There is a website dedicated to Khazarian Jewry.

Recently,a report on WorldNetDaily,stated that possibly one of the lost tribes of Israel,the Menasseh,where currently living on the Burmese-India border and still practiced Judaism,although most where currently Messianic a

I know these two markets have absolutely nothing to do with each other but, myself being a chartist I find this similarity astounding. I'll let you draw your own conclusions.

Or maybe I'm looking too hard for monsters.

Between our Civil War and World War I when international capital flows

were, as they are today, largely uninhibited, that discipline was more or

less automatic. Where gold standard rules were tight and liquidity

constrained, adverse flows were quickly reflected in rapid increases in

interest rates and the cost of capital generally. This tended to delimit the

misuse of capital and its consequences. Imbalances were generally

aborted before they got out of hand. But following World War I, such tight

restraints on economies were seen as too inflexible to meet the economic

policy goals of the twentieth century.

Yep it is as fast as money changing hand...right tolerant1?

see ya...
