Um, confused "Pearl" with "Pearle". Either way, not the case upon we'd want to build the standards, was my point...

...which was that regardless of the monetary and metric system, whether there's gold under the dollar or not, and is the ruler a yardstick or a meter stick, the golden rule should still apply. Specially between countries and specially against foreigners. Because we are all foreigners (aka "internationals") everywhere except at home.

>Not sure what you mean by "from the context, I'd conclude I'm better off not knowing them". I guess if they had been prisoners in Gitmo forced to endure harsh words from culturally insensitive guards they would be more worthy of sympathy.

Sorry if I wasn't rooting for the right guys on this case - didn't really look who's wearing what kind of drab khaki gray camo garb, sunshades or not. I rarely have any sympathy for mercenaries, regardless of the color of their money.
