Khurram, Jim has asked us to NOT make any more general discussion on
this list, as e-gold does not want this to be a popular and well-used
list. It's their list - let's respect whatever Jim asks for. I will
briefly answer you and then have an IMPORTANT COMMERCE E.R.E.
annoucement! I suggest you or anyone does not reply to me on the
list, for poor Jim's blood pressure.

{Regarding the former, I loathe the BATF and wish they had all been
burned to death at OK City. Regarding the latter, you are utterly
off the mark. About 60 thousand were killed at Nagasaki, and 120
thousand at Hiroshima. Example
http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/abomb/mp10.htm . THE DEATH TOLL AT
THE WTC WAS ESTIMATED AT A POSSIBLE 30 THOUSAND LAST NIGHT. The
weapon used at the WTC *was* a weapon of mass destruction (a
WMD)...MORE POWERFUL than many small nukes. FAR MORE PEOPLE would
have been killed than at Nagasaki, if the buildings had tumbled
immediately. Regarding WW2, there were any number of devices and
military events that killed tremendously more people than the nukes
-- carpet bombing in Dresden utterly dwarfed Hiroshima/Nagasaki, as
for that matter did Fire bombing of Tokyo. Regarding the Japanese in
WW2, they were the bad guys, along with the Germans. Japan should
have been bombed constantly until they surrendered, which they did;
what was the alternative, kill millions on each side in a ground war?
I am not a pacifist; entities that INITTIATE physical force against
other entities should be decimated. If you are a pacifist, ie, you
believe that when an entity INITIATES physical force against another,
that entity should not be retaliated against, there's nothing we can
discuss--it's a fundemental epistemological difference.}
{On a lighter note, my usual comment to Pacifists is "I hope you get
killed, then!" :-) }

Regarding your question Khurram, I think you're not clear how I'm
using the word "tribalist" .. I use it as Ayn Rand would. A
"tribalist" is just an anti-capitalist, an anti-individualist, a
statist. A sacrificer. I urge you to re-read my post, and I urge
you to read everything in http://chaostan.com.
By all means I am a big critic of the US Gov. That does not mean
that the US Gov's air force is not a fabulous instrument to reign
total destruction on the anti-capitalists who did this, and anyone
near them.
Sure, it would be better if some capitalists in the USA got together
and paid hard cash, or gold, for nuclear weapons and did it
themselves, but the USAF is fine by me. GO USAF.
The WTC attacks were WMDs, the response should be WMDs.

*end of Jim irritation!*
Promotion:
How that I'm all wound up again ... Bananagold, which now accepts
both e-gold and GoldMoney, will be offering a fabulous PROMOTION to
celebrate the amazing achievements of DGCs in a few short years, and
the fact that capitalism is the winning side, and can never be
defeated, and that even Sept 11 is not even a poke in the eye for
Capitalism. Get ready for a Banana promotion!
(GoldMoney is doing well at Banana, BTW .. it's, for now, running
about 1/2 as many orders as e-gold .. remarkable considering the tiny
base.)
I encourage other services (eg, Metal Proxy etc) that they may want
to consider accepting GoldMoney. It's still a marginal business
overall, but there it is.
JP May
