 Webmaster Note:  Every once in a while, I receive an email from a Financial Sense fan that makes me stop and think. Right now U.S. citizens are receiving our W2s, 1099s and year-end statements in preparation to pay our 2004 Income Taxes. We're all in the same boat. I thought the following might give you pause as well ~ Mary Puplava, webmaster
