Didn't the Loebs and the Kuhns aid the Russians financially during the Russo-Japanese War in exchange for a 'Jewish' province? Was this province then declared a 'Republic' by the Soviets? Did this have anything to do with the Khazars?

I thought that in order to be a Jew, (especially in those days), one has/had to be born of a Jewish mother.?

Tahhh Daaahhh! Faster than a bullet! More powerful than a speeding locomotive! Leaps tall buildings in a single bound! It's Supergirl to the rescue!!! Out of the West comes Nomina Domina in her Vampire schmata, and takes vengeance on the errant broad.

Who were the Khazars? I believe that they were converted to Judaism after a debate before their leader by a Christian and a Jew. Are they still extant?

Wow! It's no wonder that your language is to be applauded. Congratulations!

Granting all the evil Tacitus reports 'on the one hand', it should be recognized that Augustus probably stopped the Empire from being fractured as Alexander's was at his death. Augustus thought so little of himself and his achievements, that he had to give ultimate power to the 'evil' Tiberius? If this were the case, why not return power to the Senate? Ah, but, we all know that Augustus accomplished nothing good for the Empire!

In training, would a woman be able to carry double weight equipment on a 20 mile march? No beard?

If my memory serves, St. Thomas is supposed to have preached Christianity in Malabar. A Roman fort was found in south Yemen.

Instead of throwing the playing machine away, put it in the coffin with paper instructions on how to use it!

obviously, you paid no attention to my post!

This gesture "rock on" or the horns often used by rockers and bickers it's different from what I was reffering to. The right palm it's opened and pointing up with the 3 larger fingers gathered above. The gesture with those three fingers toghether but with the 2 small ones placed in the palm has religious meaning being used when making the cross or blessing. The second smilie means, (in the US), 'great', 'the best', etc. The Sign of the Cross is made with the thumb, index, and middle fingers touching at the tips while the pinkey and ring fingers are folded into the palm. The former indicating the Trinity,and the latter, the two natures of Christ.

When I look at the layout of a Roman camp, it seems to be strictly for the soldiery. Where did traders, slavers, 'camp followers', armorers, farriers, etc., stay? Inside or outside of the camp? Where were engineers, surveyors, doctors, field hospital, ambulances, wagon train, artillery, etc., located? Since the cavalry generally consisted of men from the 'higher' orders, be they Latin, allied, or mercenary, where were they located?

Not so good, but he's making lots of money.

When was the last time Sweden went to war? Hah? Maybe you lost your touch. In re smilies, ABSOLUT(LY)! It's a pain in the neck, but you can get them here: http://planetsmilies.net/ and here: http://www.clicksmilies.com/ Whatever you do, DON'T tell anyone that I gave you this seditious information!

I agree with much of what Moon. and MPC say. I am not an economist. My mind is open to change and correction. Now to work. From: Barron's; page M65 & M66; Dec. 31, 2007. As of 12/26/07: Gold Stock: $11,041,000,000 (@$833 per ounce?) SDR's 2,200,000,000 ( ditto ) ______________ Total $13,241,000,000 (plus Ft. Knox if any) =========== Currency in circulation: $825,624,000,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Money Supply as of week ended 12/17/07: M1 $1,361,200,000,000 M2 $7,460,200,000,000 Treasury Gross Public Debt as of 12/28/07(?): $9,139,300,000,000 (Hope that I have all these zeros right.) ------------------- I know that many transactions would be settled by balance payments. Do you think that gold could support the above? Would our economy be what it is if not for a fiat currency? My bride reminds me that when she was working at Salomon Bros in 1989/90, gold was trading at ~$800/oz. in then current dollars. Then the market 'collapsed'. Those who held on, are just now reaping a profit.
