follow the money and you almost always have the why.. that is until we start talking global politics. when we start to reach that level, it doesn't even seem to be about money anymore.. but about power and controlling populations.

Thank you. Yes, I agree. Money seems to end up in the mix. At the apex power and control are certainly THE issue. Still, money is a player. Even if it is such a bet as that in Eddie Murphy's "Trading Places."
