As much as I want the malnourished NK civilians to receive aid, I think dropping enough thermobaric munitions to level the entire place would be a much better option. Death is a mercy compared to suffering.
LMT and
RTN are going up. Let's hope they don't get ready for war and keep alongside the sentiment of sell-in-May, and thus the business cycle. Besides, jeopardising Obama's chance in politics has problems twofold - the arms industry is going to keep going up and money is going to flow out of the other sectors towards there, we lose the last shot at cleaning up this damn financial mess.

Silver is hovering between $32-33 per troy ounce, approximately $1.06 per gram. Copper is $3.80-$3.85 per pound, approximately $0.008 per gram. I read from Wiki that an American penny is 4.4oz, which is around 124g, meaning it costs close to $0.025 per penny (copper content 2.5%). Can someone please tell me, why does the PLATING cost more than the coin itself in US?
