Debt is slavery if your productivity gets created by private banks from nothing to be repaid with interest.Who should own your increases in productivity?

Sigh… "Listen to granny. She's usually right."

Considerate but wasted advice.

Arjay's unlikely to listen to granny as in this fairytale version of the world she has great big eyes, ears and teeth.

There's even a grim rumour that Tom Thumb's first name stands for Theory of Money.

I know, WmTrevor.

>>Considerate but wasted advice<<

They do say it is a sign of insanity to repeat the same actions and expect different results. But somehow I feel really sorry for Arjay. His life must be unbearable, believing the stuff that he believes. A Robin Williams line from "Good Morning Vietnam" springs to mind, with Arjay being in more dire need of... etc.

But honestly Arjay, how can you write this stuff with a straight face. Really, it defies belief sometimes.

>>Debt is slavery if your productivity gets created by private banks from nothing to be repaid with interest.Who should own your increases in productivity?<<

Sentences like that are, frankly, quite surreal. Much like, I suspect, the poetry of the Asgoths of Kria.

"During a recitation by their poet-master Grunthust the Flatulent of his poem 'Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning', four of his audience died of internal haemorrhaging, and the president of the Mid-Galactic Art-Snobling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthust was reported to have been 'disappointed' by the poems reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled 'My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles' when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up though his neck, and throttled his brain." Douglas Adams: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

So, be very, very careful, Arjay.

I've come all over, well, moist - teary-eyed even... such a gut-wrenching story.

But we learn, at least in the case of the Asgoths, where their brains are kept.

"in a desperate attempt to save humanity" doesn't actually tell us whether humanity was saved.

Here's hoping.

Pericles,you must be in denial of private banks creating money from nothing? How did the derviative market become 20 times that of the World GDP? Who created all this worthless money that perverts real productivity?

Simple logic is that money has no intrinsic worth and money is the vehicle to express our productivity.It is our productivity that has value.Who should own our productivity via creating the money to equal it?

You cannot answer that is why you again revert to ad hominem.

Cannot answer Pericles? Are you just another gutless wonder who has not the courage of your deceptions?
