Rick,

In the future I will read slower, and to the end. May I suggest that if you post something such as Farewell please change the title to "Farewell for now" and not leave that thought until the end, the title gave me and possibly others the impression you were over and out! And to be honest some of your posts are so long that I don't always read them to the end. I feel recently there is to much about alternative radical change.

As for your thoughts on mainstream media? Some may watch to much, or read to many Newspapers. Myself, there is a balance of realistic and alternative, I rarely read the paper, I listen to CKUA, watch little or no TV other than when I watch some NHL Hockey, some CFL Football, and as much Motocross and Supercross as I can get. Main stream media? not in my home, I don't have the time for that with three kids and a Wife and a job LOL.

I feel strongly about what mikxx1 wrote, and if there's any hope for even a small portion of our investment to come back we need to look hard at whats best right now. Wars have been won by those that should not have won, IMO we are in one of those right now and the powers we are up against are much to strong. I can walk away and have already accepted my losses but many here can't! They have invested all they have, if theres any hope to turn this around we need to do whats best for them.

Where has all this gotten us? You have had death threats, visits from the Police, the CSIS. Me pesonally I had a very odd uncomfortable call late one night when I was in the heat of posting. You are right it's time for change and as mikxx1 suggested maybe there are other options than the path we have been on.

Rick you offer much, and there is no question you have much respect and support. I am only expressing my honest opinions here, it's not my intention to offend you.
