Hi Jay: the "just is" quote was especially entertaining. Your work is slowly paying dividends. Btw, you will eventually force me to download the French fraud for an evening of financial debauchery. Fannie?! She's still there (g)? Robbie Robertson (again) crosses my mind: "Take a load of(f) Fannie, take a load for free" ... with the meaning of "Fannie" - at least in the case of the song - not yet and probably never completely clear. Oh wth, let me copy the compete lyrics, it's one of my favourites: I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' about half past dead; C#m D A I just need some place where I can lay my head. C#m D A "Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?" C#m D A He just grinned and shook my hand, and "No!", was all he said. (Chorus:) A E D A E D Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free; A E D A D Take a load off Fanny, And (and) (and) you can put the load right on me. A E D A D I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide; When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side. I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on, let's go downtown." She said, "I gotta go, but m'friend can stick around." (Chorus) Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say It's just ol' Luke, and Luke's waitin' on the Judgement Day. "Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?" He said, "Do me a favor, son, woncha stay an' keep Anna Lee company?" (Chorus) Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog. He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog." I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man." He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can." (Chorus) Catch a cannon ball now, t'take me down the line My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time. To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one. Who sent me here with her regards for everyone. PS: I left the chords for those who still need the final polish;)

We managed to see the same page on a matter of long debate on this thread, the macro that says Greensputin is running a fraud. Misrepresenting my argument is too slimy for me to continue the discussion, so I am putting you on Ignore.

Hi Jay - after sweeping through "Fiat Money Inflation in France" I remember the last few paragraphs of Anatole France's "the Gods are thirsty" where he paints the picture of Jardin des Tuilleries and other parks around Louvre, that kept heaving and moving for years from all the guilliotined, burried there. Additional to the physical and political terreur the financial violence ... I just can't refrain from thinking Marx:"primary expropriation" by capitalists-in-the-making hitting the old gentry and the church, thus "expropriating the expropriators". Followed by L'empereur who paid (and robbed) in cash. And they were the brightest, the most dedicated and pure of them all ...

Hi Jay: One should not worry about Fannie not producing a balance sheet. If I remember correctly Enron used to do this all the time.

Any comment? Jay<g>--China Launches Swarm Of NanoSats (email to a friend) BEIJING, China - China ruffled feathers at the Pentagon Sunday when it announced the successful deployment of the world's first Nano Satellite Swarm. "These millions of sub-gram satellites will provide China with unsurpassed ability to focus on land-based details, greatly enhancing farm production and land management. Disbanding and coalescing on command, the units can form up to become a telescope, a transmitter, whatever is required. The international community can be assured, however, that China has only domestic surveillance in mind for the Swarm," said the official Xinhua News Agency. "This isn't another Sputnik," said Pentagon spokesman General Raymond Gallagher, "This is a team of millions of Sputniks, spreading out and forming up over whatever target its Sino-master directs it to. Are we concerned? You bet your combat boots we're concerned." Despite concerns, however, no response to China's launch is expected soon. "We didn't see this one coming," explained Arthur Greening, a civilian contractor working with NASA, "We've got our own networked satellite projects on the table, of course, but nothing on this scale. We're not going to respond because we don't have a response. Yet." "'Domestic surveillance' my eye," said Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, "They've got an eye in the sky and their going to use it for more efficient crop-rotations? I'll believe that when I believe Saddam didn't have weapons of mass destruction. Maybe not even then!" thebentinel.com
