"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."

Lynne, it would be useful to know what you are looking for - do you want a Superideal cut diamond ( cut to exacting proportions and highly rated for light performance), or what we call a ' nice make' of diamond - one which is nicely cut and sparkly, but not a cream of the crop cut? This would help if you could let us know what your preference is. If it is for a pretty diamond which sparkles and looks good then one of your contenders may be fine, if you want a tighter cut then perhaps we need to find some others. I take it from the info given these are GIA graded?

Morning Ellen!!

Yep, also are you looking online or in retail?
