Well, that certainly might go a good way to explaining Dr John Stockton. (As for sacks of Krugerrands... those get heavy and I am not aware of Mr Klein's distribution of them extending transoceanically.) DD

As best as I can understand it: the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting children. >We have been ordered to wear sackcloth and ashes and are >banned from expressing any positive signs of humanity (including >humour and generosity).
