You're really Bill Gates, and I claim my 5 pounds ;-) Actually, when you're dealing with, say, illiterate and immumerate peasant types (Such as are, unfortunately, still by far the most common folks you're going to meet in, say Afghanistan, or Pakistan, ore pretty much anywhere else in that corner of the world, even in the cities, it very quickly gets to the point where, by raising the reward, all you're doing it trading one unimaginably huge sum for another. 25 million, 50 million, even 1 million - it's all pretty much the same to folks who are still counting in 1, 2, several, many... (Actually, the biggest number that they seem to be able to get their minds around is 40-50.) I kind of like the idea of dropping hte reward, and publicizing that fact. Hit 'em in their vanity, you're almost sure to get a reaction. In fact, let's set up a scheduled rollback on the reward. For every two months that passes, we knock a million off of the reward. Then we can sturt in with the derision & humiliation. Start a campaign to cast ridicule on the Terrs and their cause, really do the Saturday Night Live thing (From back when it was funny) on them. (Look what Garret Morris did for Idi Amin, after all). Put David Hasselhof & Pamela Anderson in it, and we can guarantee a wide-ranging World-wide viewership. I think I'll go do lunch, now. Definitely seemed to be an incipient chemcial imbalance developing there, for lack of nourishment ;-) Guy |
