Money Rant

Not everyone understands money nor it's value opposed to "real" things, such as gold ( which is another thing people think is valuable for some odd reason, though you can't eat it, well you can, but it doesn't offer any health value, you can't clothe yourself with it, well you can, but you'll look like diva or some pompous prince not-so-charming and it may not keep the cold out, you can't house yourself in it, well you can, but then you'll have to sit outside it and protect it because everyone would want to a piece of it because everyone thinks it's valuable for some odd reason ).

At least if that fake paper money you want more of is attached "market-wise" to something such as gold or silver, then the value is dependent and not independent from those other things people see as valuable... which vary with "value" according to people's sentiments or if people "say" its good or worth more than... uh... cow dung.

Illusions I say... my opinion: A house is valuable; it keeps you dry when it rains, keeps the mosquitoes off your bum when you sleep, can keep the sun from beating down on your head when its hot outside...

Food is valuable too I think; keeps your body working, gives you energy, which is needed to push that button on your remote control to switch from CNN to FOX to Bloomberg to the Shopping Channel and back again...

Water is pretty good; clears out your body after a night of binge drinking, helps you swallow the 12 pills your doctor prescribes you to keep you (in)sane..

And people are pretty important; you need them to hang out with, point your finger at, hate when you are troubled with yourself, and then when you eventually lose all your marbles, you need them to show up in military gear and take you away ( for your and your fellow countryman's own good of course )...

And land is somewhat important... I mean, where are you going to walk, lay your head, grow your food on / in? In the air? On the moon or Mars as some suppose? Underwater ( the oceans are owned by some greedy folks too, I forgot ).

So land is valuable because it can grow that food you need, it gathers that water you need, and it supports your house / the hut you need to keep the mosquitoes from biting your bum all night....

So here comes another power grab from those who seem to have it all ( money and all you can buy with it ) but are missing something so much more important....

So when your milk goes to $10 a gallon but your raise / the minimum wage only goes up $0.50... don't cry to your politician then... they won't listen because they are ripping and roaring out those new laws so fast and so eloquently / convulsively that most folks cannot keep up nor understand them... then you'll be glad you had your Constitution and some folks were paying attention ( oh wait, they are doing away with that old piece of paper too, oops )...

So where shall those who love Freedom of Life go to next? Oh I forgot, all the land has been spoken for by those who have it all ( except for Cuba, but they want that island too... much like that monopoly game and you have every last property except _______... and that would just make their day to have that one too.
