"It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds."

-Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State



John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880

"There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things....

The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

A Girl's Best Friend

I can see who's side you all are on - give Bebe the ring now you say , well I won't so there.

onedrop:  The band is 5mm & size 10, minght sound alittle small for the size, but her wedding band is 4mm.

AGBF:  The stones definitely flash green in some light, blue in others - I think the green is from the blue+yellow(rose)=green combination.  I think the ring would have shown more pure blue if set in plat or wg, but I wanted rose.  I thought about the potential color appearance before I ordered it... So you have to keep color =combos in mind (it's why people set yellow diamonds in a yg basket even on a plat ring I guess).  Green reminds me of emeralds too, and that's the stone in Bebe's engagement ring - so it works for me.  I thought about asking Etienne if it was feasible to put a plat (or wg) lining in each stones' setting but I didn't (figured it would take the price way up even if possible).
