The report considered your idea not to be actionable "for reasons that are self evident".

"Well aren’t you the one for pointing out the obvious."

The "obvious" is the fact that speculative investment does not in itself have a long term effect on supply. This is what the report considered "self evident".

"In light of having your head stuck up your arse you might like to rethink your position or at least attempt to gather some evidence for it, old bean."

As GrahamY said, "a rule on this forum appears to be that the more abusive the poster the less they are likely to know, and you're demonstrating this law at the moment."

The forum with the topic "Martin Luther King a population control advocate" at http://forum.onlineopinion.com.au/thread.asp?discussion=1645&page=0 may be of interest today, 4 April 2008, being the fortieth aniversary of King's assassination on 4 April 1968.
