I'm not complaining, just curious, after staying in a hotel in Andover recently where all the staff were from other countries - mostly Portugal, I'd guess. They were perfectly competent, charming and helpful, but I did wonder why local young people were not used. What benefits do hoteliers gain by employing youngsters from other countries?

I see these kids, today listening to rap music talking about dealing drugs, half naked girls on TV, and who is dressed the best... Idealizing people like P-Diddy and Tu-Pac...

The answer can be found in the woods, and most country boys now this... Country lving and country ways #1 Agree?

Q: Suppose in a change from State A to State B the sum of compensating varations (CV) is positive. In addition, the sum of equivalent variations (EV) is negative. If actual compenstation is paid to losers, is it true that social welfare will increase regardless of income? Explain with any assumptions you need to make.

A: So, for example, say if total CV is +10 and EV is -15...I guess the overall social welfare decreased by -5? Therefore, it is false that social welfare will increase regardless of the distribution of income? Is this even right? I'm just trying to guess a bit here...

"Come, little leaves," said the wind one day,
Come o'er the meadows with me and play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold -
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

1] is it true that everyone is a money-fool relative to the most money-cunning person?

[eg, the foolish ppl [virtually 100% of ppl] who allowed the moneysupply to go into private hands - ie, free license to pump money endlessly into their private accounts - they know when the supply is going up and down, so they know when to buy and sell, an inside-trader's dream]

2] is parting a fool and his money theft, injustice, overpay, money without work? - is overpay political overpower, eroding democracy? - is overpower power to steal, to legalise thefts, to foment wars for profit, to use millions as cannonfodder. to legally steal by any method the ppl havent cottoned on to, or that u can hide -

does overpay [money without work] create underpay [work without money, wageslavery] creates righteous anger creates violence destroys safety peace happiness freedom democracy and the state, which is not in yr interests, therefore immoral?

greed = theft + selfdeception?

greed = enemy??

i think it is hardwired neurologicaly for men to feel more empathy for women than vice versa.

For thousands of years it was benefial to the human species
Even today it is beneficial
however i beleve that evolutionary neurologicaly condtioned response needs to be modualted to a degree . Not removed all together mind you but a systems of checks and balances to prevent abuse from the inherently stronger abilty to empathize with females than males

suggestions comments questions

its nowhere near finished and you've probably no idea whats it's talking about because its written about a specific person and a specific situation but what the hell... whaddya think?

i felt inspired
to write a tradgedy
no need to claw for fiction
i look at life around me
and i see
the broken bones of broken souls
and it pains me to see
the withering decay in your eye
and i hope
as shadows fall they fall through you
cos you've come too far now
to falter at the finish line
this sacred pain
that you hold dear
does not define you
cos you're a bigger person
than we all ever knew
and if it takes a hundred years
for you to feel
then thats ok
it's your life anyway
we're only here - both sides of me
to offer you the subtle touch of empathy

To be labelled a "work of Art", a painting, sculpture or other art form should display certain qualities that are unique. However, over the past century there has been a decline in the quality of prize-winning artwork and it is now possible for quite ordinary pieces of art to be labelled "masterpieces" whilst true works of art pass unnoticed. Do you agree or disagree? Give me you reasons. Thanks.

[u s senate committee in 1950s said big business was more powerful than the us govt - eisenhower warning against military-industrial complex - ?kennedy killed for opposing defense budget, fed reserve - robber baron opposition to anti-trust laws - league of nations formed to try to stop arms dealers fomenting wars]

what if there is legal theft? [monopolies, manufactured scarcity, manufactured oversupply of labour, insider trading, capital gains, inheritance, gambling] - money without work is theft [overpay] causing work without money [underpay], causing [righteous] anger, causing violence [war and crime], which must escalate endlessly, leading to nuclear winter [soon, unless we wake]

avarice is a very popular error [ie, false happiness strategy] - legal can mean merely that people are still ignorant of an evil - there had to hav been a time before people understood that a law against murder would be good

overpay = 99% underpay + war + crime, but ppl stll thnk wealth is good
