Maurice, <<I have advocated listing NZ citizenship on the stock market ... Commodity markets, futures, derivatives and the like are the way to handle citizenship>>
Sorry, that patent has been taken out already :0)
... I believe true citizenship is defined by where one's assets are, whereas one's physical location happens to be is about as meaningful as where one chooses to have dinner on any given night, and by the true measure, plenty of folks are NZD citizens ;0)
Message 15137009 <<January 6th, 2001 ... Money has no conscience most of the time and no nationality all the time.>>
Message 16076853 <<July 14th, 2001 ... The choice is ours to make, explanation to others is not needed, and consequence is ours to bear, alone with our families. No blames, no tears, and no leaving the game where we did not make the rules and no longer understand the logic. Considerations such as heroism, macho-ness, nobility, humanity, nationality, ethnicity, creed, and religion are meant for other decisions. The game theory of risk vs. reward is our guide, financial survival followed by prosperity is our objective, and fun is the goal.>>
Message 16222275 <<August 16th, 2001 … Money is forever a refugee, with no nationality, ethnicity, religion, or loyalty. Money moves, perpetually, out of danger, away from harm, into welcoming ports of temporary call, waltzing through frenzied parties, flirts with the local lovelies, and then, once more, moves on, refugee once more.>>
