Personally I like the idea of closing out tax avoidance havens. Those are the guys who bank for the mafia, 3rd world scumbag dictators and selfish, greedy fatcats. What a collection of criminals who should be behind bars !! Pirates etc. object all you like - time is up for you !!

:D Hadn't thought of that lol Just in case anyone may be interested - I would explain a bit more. It's more on the lines of biological computational power or lack of it.

Wot no reset button ?

If the Somali pirates are allowed to go on seizing ships with relative impunity then others will follow suit. Made many millions of $$$ recently at the cost of 6 lives. That sort of odds is very attractive to people with next to nothing to lose. If others follow suit and they will, world trade...

Since we are in hard times *********** A middle manager is called into his bosses office on a Monday morning. He is told he has to get rid of one employee in his department by the next Monday. "Downsizing." He's really upset. Everyone in his department does a good job and it doesn't...
