>>Of course not. you better join the demonstrations against the war as long as the baddies let you.<<
MSFE, how can we have a rational conversation if you act like a smart arse because you too haven't got any solutions to offer.

Perhaps that is so Lance. But it does make one wonder when one sees someone, who has only just joined this chat site, come up with such strong opnions which are so contrary to the majority of contributors.
Seeing those desperate odd people, so anxious to win an argument, reminds me of those labourites who, at election time, go out of their way to vote several times. Once in their own name and thence several times in dead people's names (whose name still appears on the electoral roll).

I read one contributor. I replied. I did not know the majority opinion, nor would it have made any difference to me in any case. This is not a popularity contest. The majority view of many things in life is incorrect, and often downright foolish. Ask Colombus. In the great game of trading, do we seek the majority opinion to verify our own decisions? Of course not. We suspect that the majority opinion is, in fact, foolish. Isn't it interesting how differently we regard majority opinion in various situations.

I did appreciate your comment, however. Thank you.
I was hoping for something a bit more challenging in the way of a response from candletrader, but then it seems he'd rather hide behind cheap retorts like "ROFL" and "STUPID", than to come out and do honest intellectual battle. So be it. We are known and judged by the arguments we make, and just as importantly, by the way that we make those arguments.
Have a nice trading day, all. I'm off to bed here soon in The Big Mikan.

ROFL... what a stupid creature... only on his 4th post using another new of his many trolling multiple nicks (I got a good idea who you are, but I won't embarass your meager brain in public)... yeeeeeeeehhhhaaaaaaaaa....
Now let's get on with bombing the Saudi scum, the Iranian fanatics and the Pakistani lunatics... these are our real threats... AMEN...
Iraq is a defenseless piece of shit... its a pointless exercise attacking em, unless of course we're just going in to control the oil.... yeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhaaaaaaaa....
I hope that the Israeli lobby puts pressure on this crazed US adminstration to get a move on and attack the true enemies: Saudi Arabia, Iran and Pakistan... AMEN

Oh please. Embarrass away -- that is if you think you're up to it. But I'd advise you to be sure you know who is actually going to end up being embarrassed when you take your best shot at it.
Hint: It won't be me.
I live and work in Tokyo. You don't know me from the man in the moon. Clueless is what you are, apparently in quite a few respects. And simply unworthy of serious debate.
G'night -- it's late here.

As candletrader points out with the premise of this thread, there can be negative consequences to ANY action we take, or fail to take. We must be as equally vigilant concerning our own objectives as we are concerning the objectives of others.
A young Mr. Lincoln put it this way:
"As a free and democratic republic, we shall ourselves be the architects of our own fate. It shall be our destiny to live FOREVER...or die by suicide."
Food for meditation.
