Please pardon the implicit Americanism, I didn't disclaim my speech because I think all G8-20? countries are somewhat accountable for basing their currency or referencing their currency upon it (is this true from European views?). In any case, trading with America, they entangle themselves with its history -- including the Native American near-genocide that happened here and the human rights abuses that continue to this day. Is it not strange that no one notices this while the talking heads on TV go on about human rights in some far-away land that they hardly know? Mark
