>>and all them zeros on paper

Most of the ones and zeros representing modern wealth aren’t on paper, they only exist in some electronic data storage mechanism.

Value is derived from the perception of value. If the perception turns out to be illusion, where does the value go?

It goes poof.

The Golden Calf was just a lump of melted rock. The power of Baal was in the perception.

Folks are led to worship the strangest things.

And it is truly much easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to enter the gates of Heaven.

I know a few who worship their 42" flat screens, cell phones, wardrobe and laptops.

Maybe time to coin a new an acronym that b$tch-slaps 'PC' (political correctness) into oblivion?

How about 'EC'?:

That would stand for Economic Correctness?

That is being EC means all business and financial dealing are based upon sound proven financial practices deeply rooted in and implemented with integrity completely void of that 'new' fuzzy math? Data is not skewed and omitted to influence a transaction and the MSM will be the main players in pushing the concept? Applies across the board: personally, in industry and in government.

Nope, won't happen...too many think they can take it with them and instant gratification is all that matters in life. Just look at Hollywierd.
