"All my post was saying is to do something pro active to help safe gaurd you investment by having govt officials made aware that we do not want our resourses given away. 17 recomendations seems to say some others feel the same."

Actually the tone of your post was more about an "I told you so" mentality, that it happened to you so it will happen to others. Yours was about anger and claims based on emotion not on fact. Selling our resources is what our gov't does and has done forever. However, with the coming resource shortage crisis, does our gov't have the savvy to recognize the value of not doing this, or are they still short term thinkers? I guess we'll find out but it won't be a few retail shinning the light for the gov't to see, it will be those with the shiny coins to put in their pockets. But we'll see, perhaps I'm just a little too cynical.
