Darleen,
Excellent thoughts from you today, but then to me you always
supply answers comments guesses and questions into each
of your posts like the ingredients of a bouillabaisse
prior to when these various sea lifes still roam the waters
and live together love together fight together chase and flee
and eat and be eaten and finally end up in that big pot.
Someone once told me that if an automobile was to be included
into that capsule sent off towards deep outer space so that
any aliens far far away thousands years from today can have
evidence of life on this planet Earth, that its a Saab 99.
Reasons given was that it incorporated the following.
- transport up to 5 big people
- hatchback version opens and delivers for use a station wagon
- safety built like a Volvo
- small engine, good gas mileage with enough power available
Someone replied "Its not represenative."
For example, more Chevy Cameros are sold than this Saab.
But the Camero has 2 door, small back seat, no real trunk
and an over big powerful engine. Its a car modified in ways
counter to purpose and function so that a person's attitude
and emotions etc are satisfied.
Might a focus on this thread, and to address what you posted
be examined in a simple manner like going from point A to B.
Both the Saab and a Camero does the job, and where in the Saab case
efficiency and safety rule, the Camero delivers to a teenage boy
feeling of girl-getting virtuoso.
Let me now introduce Freedom of Speech to connect the above
sea life forms, automobiles and birds & bees.
Legal to shout "Fire", except in a crowded room when no fire.
Legal for a bank to offer credit cards, except ???
Have to use RareBird+RonRon+Hutch = a person here.
This person has ability of survival skills very high,
infact no matter what course they take, education of
Ph.D. or highschool dropout, he will be successful
in a way equal to what each has already obtained.
But this person is not represenative of population,
as if you filled that room with these types and they
hear "Fire", they would all react very different from
that room of a cross section a.k.a. Bell Curve.
Now introduce banks and credit cards you mentioned in your post.
You I and most likely all SI folks that post on this thread
have not fallen into that trap of debt. But there are those
out there that make up 90% of the bell curve that do not have
those RareBird+RonRon+Hutch characteristics and got into that
DOW or Nasdaq with saving money, and later as it continued
to go up in value they left that saving cash in the markets
and used "temporary" their credit cards to cover expenses
normally used with their available savings.
Since the markets stayed up and continued to go up they decided
that more return would occur by leaving the savings in the markets
and use another credit cards advance to start paying that credit card
that max'ed out. Then times passes and this second one max'ed out
so they start on a third.
Now as the markets have fallen, did they sell at the top
or on the way down above where they entered?
If not then their debt may be more than their savings returned
as that investment adjusted for a lost.
If so then their credit card debt,
a.k.a. very high interest rate loans
cannot be payed off,
and not only is their savings reduced,
but their ability to save reduced also.
Thses banks that allow debt to create wealth
that RareBird says are Great and Wonderful
also have the ability to destroy thoses not a rarebird type,
which is 90+% of population.
So its ok for Rarebird to be "not concerned" with "Fire",
as he can handle the situation ok, most can not.
But then if the economy crashes too much, then it will be
those like Rarebird who continue to be productive, to be
the ones who pay taxes to support those who lost their jobs
and homes etc.
From above.
Legal to shout "Fire",
except in a crowded room when no fire.
Legal for a bank to offer credit cards,
except ???
I'm willing to let those who make mistakes take a fall,
but when the banks make it "too easy" along with the message
from mainstream press that economy strong now & forever,
then to me its a trap and set-up for the weak by those
who are the strong+evil+corrupt.
Whose the guilty party here, for this example.
banks? media? folks trapped?
No one broke the law.
No one forced.
Rarebird mentioned common sense in his post.
He has it, but down that bell curve its magnitude may decrease,
but more importantly is that those with good common sense
do not have what it takes to prevent evil manipulation to con them.
Solution = more laws, I say no.
Solution is to enforce existing laws,
but first those who we have elected or appointed to do such
have to be examined by those like Rarebird to see if they are
doing their jobs.
Just so long that Rarebird "has the world by the tail"
and is doing great and wants it to continue, then what
you and I talk about will continue, and worst case is that
it will bring down everyone including Rarebird.
The evil manipulated gold market is not the tip of an iceberg,
but just one small portion of incorectness that shows itself
as symptoms of a house of cards build on a rotten foundation
of the battle between Good v Evil with Evil winning.
(off topic)
Darlene, any chance that you speak write French or Spanish
or another that translators are available for on the internet.
If so and you can do it better than English, then try an experiment
and write it in that other one and translate it into English
and see if it equals what you would have done directly.
I cannot do any other language, just my poor English.
You did mention that your thoughts are two sentences ahead
of what you type into the keyboard.
