if I am a loser in your twisted eyes and mind I take it as a complement. At least I am not scarred of "socialists" and "communists" to tax or take my money.....you paranoid little person.....I am who I am and I am content with myself, I do not need to write a long op-ed peace (if you can call that) on Moore who does not even know who the fuck you are, Covell! You are and will remain a small time internet marketeer, once the people will get tired of your books and they will be of out of print. ( I suspect before the "recovery" daws on us...
Because I am not! I sympatise with some of the notions and socialist idelas but I am in neighter camp.....it would never work in the complex place like the USA....
OU you mean LOZA, no ?? These euro type ivory tower pseudo academics are a sad bunch. the utopian ideals that died in the 60's still live on in these assclowns. sleepy

This is a vendor thread from an OP who vends Books and DVDs. I am biased. The only time I ever called a publisher was in response to reading a handed down copy of "Trendfollowing". I am an amateur trader and I have been employed as an expert in several and diverse fields. Among other places, Washington has been part of my experience. I count a few of the current players as personal friends. I read the thread and there was a question in the second post: the question reads: "Where am I wrong?" I assume the question was rhetorical from reading the rest of the thread. So now I will go off topic and comment on the global economic milieu. Most people try to live lives that follow a family oriented plan but families are dynamic and every so often, there's generational change. Also as time passes the world changes in perspective regarding human relationships. Now, we are in a time when where a lot of human limits have been tested and what I call "the innocent" get to go through an adjustment. A depression mentality more or less came and went and another cycle will now occur. There is something that underlies the human potential. Some people are never called upon to examine this. For those that do, they get "immunity" for life and in a way that does not harm others. Occasionally, people do step up to help others as well. Usually it stems outward from families, relatives and friends. Money is very useful for helping out others. My father was very dissappointed in me. He had a "work ethic" and I was born in the Depression (1933). I get to view things from my perspective and I have extinguished his orientation from my viewpoint. I didn't "work". But I did operate from principle. The SEC citations were kind of difficult to understand because I believed the regulators were knowledgable for a while in my life. At EOP, I found out how the Chairman of the Board of CBS felt when he was deposed from being head of the volunteers of the WIN program. THE GPO printed gas rationing stamps in that era. Shredpac Corp got the contract to shred them up. So abuses are being corrected by the econometric aspects of a global economy. The innocent are being affected slowly but definitely. Others who are perpetrators will be affected too. Most people will be "know nothings" and do what they can to fit in in the way they can. A room full of people viewing a film happens. If a person is not empowered, then there are no consequences. That has been pointed out. I got a one pager today. The five largest service organizations are beginning to look at a business plan for working cooperatively on the most significant youth problem in the world. The one pager was a response to me on an initiative. Vendors are dealing with the Michael Moore niche. They get in airplanes and meet to carry forward their operations. I contribute to helping people become immune to this vendor oriented stuff. I can go steps further and add continually immumization to others. Organizations with purposes help to do this. By not keeping money, I get to put it in places that are leveraged. By teaching people to fish, I create more nets for money that, in turn can be handed out to those who have needs. People don't do films on this kind of thing, they do not write books, there is nothing to sell when people operate on Principles and are helpful to others. I did books on institutionalizing solutions to problems. The copyrights and royalties were given to not for profits. Pete Peterson is an example. He is ex CEO of Lehman and the ex SOC. His little foundation is run by the ex head of GAO (Dave walker). A billion dollars is involved in the foundation. He has breakfast at the Links Club off Central Park to chat with people who help others. Pete knows what is going on and he does the walk. He is knowledgeable and uses money to fix busted things. He has no torch; he just plows the soil to cause seeds to grow where he plants them. 5% of capital an hour is the going extraction rate of capital in markets. Most capital is not being extracted to tranfer it to a better and more useful place. The market capacity is very limited in the markets all over the world. But it is there and being tapped. Lets say a person chooses to be helpful. He gets equipped with knowledge and skills. He applies capital to extract capital from any market any where in the world. Then, he puts the capital to work to help out. Rockefeller is spending 3 mill at Hinckley to replace his Hinckley powerboat. He also paved the roads (his dad did) at the local park where people can drive to the top of Mt desert Island to see the bay around Bar Harbor. If his flag is up it means he is in residence. You can sail by and he will wave. Eat a lobster to help out the local economy there. Understanding the global econometric model is very helpful. Look at Yunus's banking efforts. He is a world wide influence and his loans are always paid down. He turns over 100 of millions of small loans all over the world monthly. His salary? It is paid and it is small. All of his employees are terrific people and there is very little corruption; their goal is to give a small loan to someone who needs it to get started in life. So you ask" Whats wrong with this, more or less?" You are, is the answer. We are all free to be immune and, then, to spend our time helping others. Learning is the first step; try it sometime.
