Ahem; And the rich are powerful, that is what money is for, to gain power. (PMQ power money quotient)

You have a good ratio, people follow your every word. Is it because your rich and powerful? Or is it because they understand your connections make you seemingly connectable by, association to that which you and they aspire?

Power is a complexity all its own.

I'd humbly ask that you take the time necessary to educate the rest of us on what makes a medium of exchange, into power? Are means and ends comparable across circumstance? Mugabe had money and power....and so might you so (pretend its equivalent) , can you tell us if there is a difference in your quotient, & his?

I'll assume that you also understand the dichotomy of the patient and the doctor....and who really needs whom?

Power is a function of morality, money is just a medium.... marrying the two has broad ramifications, so plese expand on your thoughts.

If you didnt read the reviews, or listened to the program, but just jumped at opportunity,............. never mind.

I recommended your post, in hopes that your pond would become at the minimum....a lake, but would appreciate your breadth up to the scale of a sea, so tell us more.

Socialism is the new mantra for the US as the percentage of the population dependent on the government has reached a critical mass. Jim Rogers was smart to leave! Those left here with any substantial savings will be savaged.

In a world becoming resource constrained Washington wants to keep paying people to have babies.
