no man on the moon, page-76

HI Guys,

Thanks for the spirited arguments and opinions. There's another program on this on SBS early this week. Watch it and see what you think.

The purpose of my post got a little lost in the discussion and is this.

People are judged on their reputation. It takes years to build a good reputation.

You would not lend money to someone who lied to you or deliberately misled you.You would not employ them and you would not knowingly conduct business with them.

So it is with nations. They have a reputation also and to the degree that they are trusted, then their currency is strong and they succeed financially.

There is a very distinct possibility that America has conned the world. If they do not prove otherwise their trusted nation status is gone and it's all downhill from here. Iraq is small bickies beside a loss of reputation.

Maybe we should be selling the US $ and buying gold.

Regards M.
