someone cares—when lunatics put a price on your head

“The speaker on the tape promised a lesser prize - 1,000 grams of gold - to anyone killing a citizen of countries he called "the masters of the veto like Americans and Britons" - a reference to nations with veto power on the U.N. Security Council.”

“And he offered 500 grams of gold to anyone killing citizens of countries he called "slaves of the Security Council who are in Iraq, like Japan and Italy."

“With gold selling Thursday on London exchanges for $387.60 a troy ounce, 10,000 grams of gold was valued at $124,630, 1,000 grams at $12,463, and 500 grams at $6,231.”

So remember, masters are worth more than slaves, and Brits are worth more than Italians, and you get no points for a Spanish nun!
