Seeker, This is a very good post. I must say now that I appreciate the time you took to put this together. The Mastermind grows stronger every day and in many ways. When this thing really hits and things start going haywire it is going to be too late to start reading and studying. It's too late to build a boat once Hurricaine Katrina shows up. And I should know, I was there trapped in a hospital in Saint Bernard Parish for 6 long, hot days. It's amazing how a true crisis can bring out the best and worst in people. The times ahead should be very interesting indeed. Bull
