SilverDoctors! An intriguing name and concept. Maybe benign and sagacious in the sense of "doctors of the church" -- Sts. Augustine and Jerome, etc. rather than the subversive and sickening "Dr." Kissinger, Dr. Spock, Dr. John Dee et al.

NEW YEAR’S EVE GOLD RUSH AT SHANGHAI SHOPPING MALL

America is supposedly the country that has brought civilization to even the darkest corners of the earth, what with our electric lights, Methodist missionaries et al.... but we're also the country that seized the gold holdings of its citizens once, and is spoiling for an opportunity to repeat the dismal debacle that resulted. But look what common sense these Chinese have -- we are the ones that crowd dirty, degraded 42nd Street each New Year's Eve (with millions nationwide watching it on TV, while in the People's Republic, people take the occasion to stock up on real money.

We live for pleasure, the moment, and momentary pleasure -- they look ahead to the future. Could they be blamed for looking down at spoiled, sybaritic Westerners as the fools we often are?

I'm just askin.'
