"The more power a government has the more it can act arbitrarily according to the whims and desires of the elite, and the more it will make war on others and murder its foreign and domestic subjects. Power will achieve its murderous potential. It simply waits for an excuse, an event of some sort, an assassination, a massacre in a neighboring country, an attempted coup, a famine, or a natural disaster, to justify the beginning of murder en masse."
R. J. Rummel, Mass Murder and Genocide, 1994

Canadian Stock Exchanges Closed Today
As a reminder to all you junior miner punters, today is Victoria Day, May 24, 2010, in Canada and the stock exchanges are closed.
Some of their stocks that are listed in the US are trading, obviously but most of the Canadian junior miners are not.
