So when will all this crap end?

When we cut a financing deal with the Ecuadorean Govt. and start down the fast track to development. I for one welcome it. Despite all that's happened, I'm starting to really like these people and want to be part of their future.

Well, that went over like a Lead Zeppelin...lol. Oh the humanity!

Still, I think it has merit. It's what I'd call taking the long view. Face it, this country has way more interest in us that does Bay St. at this juncture. All Bay St. wants is to knock us down so their pals in Big Gold can walk away with the main prize, while all we're left with is a tiny bag of stale peanuts, like the kind Air Canada used to hand out.

Ecuador, OTOH, could set us up in the catbird seat. We could become the main player down there, training their people, helping them set up their mining industry. A rather good position to be in, I'd say.

We're being knocked down hard so we'll grasp desperately at a low ball offer. Personally, I'd like to see the agents responsible (and we all know who they are) permanently locked out of Ecuador. I think the Ecuadorean Govt. could get behind that. I think they'd be rather pleased actually. They don't much like being pushed around, and frankly, neither do I.
