<br> Just found this great lil link on the UK 9/11 truth forum in one posters signature.<br><br> Interesting little analogy to put it mildly ;<br><br> <!--EZCODE QUOTE START--><blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>Fabian was excited as he once more rehearsed his speech for the crowd certain to turn up tomorrow. He had always wanted prestige and power and now his dreams were going to come true. He was a craftsman working with silver and gold, making jewelry and ornaments, but he became dissatisfied with working for a living. He needed excitement, a challenge, and now his plan was ready to begin.<br>        <br>        <br><br>For generations the people used the barter system. A man supported his own family by providing all their needs or else he specialised in a particular trade. Whatever surpluses he might have from his own production, he exchanged or swapped for the surplus of others.<br><hr></blockquote><!--EZCODE QUOTE END--><br> <br><br> And so it begins.......full link ;<br><br> <!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.relfe.com/plus_5_.html">www.relfe.com/plus_5_.html</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <p></p><i></i>
