Soros gives $1M to Calif. pot legalization measure

[TAB]

I have no doubt that if it becomes legal, there will be lots of guys starting up corperations to grow it.  its big time profit.  which is why I have a plan to start up a company that designs and installs the systems.

TAB is on the right track .
During the Gold rush the miners, with the exception of Hearst who was more of an investor, were not the ones who got rich and famous.
It was the people like Strauss, Field's, and the others who supplied the clothes, tools, and other necessities to the miner's.
They were the ones who built actual durable fortunes.

I understand that, on the Comstock lode at least, the Laundry women panned the dirty wash water and made extra $.

Thats not too suprizing.   most gold is actually very tiny.   most modern gold miners will go thier entire working carrer and never see a single spec of gold.

It was even better than that.
The Comstock was the one with the "d--ned blue mud" it seeped into the mines , caked onto the miners clothes, was expensive to get rid of, and turned out to have a silver content that made it worth more than the gold by far.
