[we hav pay/hr range from 1000th to million times world-av hrly pay - every worker in the world [4 bn], including homemakers [2 bn] & tertiary students, wd be paid US$15/hr [2006 $s] if we had eql pay/hr] - ie, family wrking av hard wd be on US$75,000/yr

which wd u choose?

1] a world in which u were the highest paid person in the world, in which pay/frtnt ranged from $1 to $1 bn, with 1 bn on less than $1/day [200th of world av], 3 bn on lessthan $2/day, 90% on lessthan 10th of av, 99% on lessthan av, 1% on up to a mn x av, with the extreme violence, danger, unpeace, waste, trouble, disease, etc

2] a world in which overpay/underpay is justly limited by limiting fortunes to the maximum a person can earn by their own work, greatly reduced war, crime, poverty & disease, with liberty, equality, fraternity [= global friendliness], low defense costs [in lives [both the killed & the employed in defense industry], taxes, damage & destrctn of person & property]

a no-brainer?

I seem to be lacking both and I'm just curious about what it is that keeps people from getting bogged down, what keeps them going besides simply their responsibilities and commitments.

I was just wondering, because I noticed that white chicks kinda look at me funny when I go out with one of my girlfriends.

Like if a go to some restaurant and the hostess is a white girl, she'll like take a double take and then kinda give us a fake smile etc.

Does it bother white women that a fine white dude is kickin it with da sistas and da caliente mamasitas?

How important is physical looks when it comes to going out with someone? I met a really beautiful woman ( inside+ out) but i consider her to be way out of my league. Now, i'm not ugly, i get attention but, like i said, she is way above me in that respect. What are your opinions/ experiences.
Much appreciated.

I have to write a paper on sensationalism, rationalism and romanticism. I get what they are and don't need a definition, but I don't understand what they mean/meant for society...How did they influence ethics morals and values?

closer to equal pay/hr removes temptation to depart from the work that gives one most intrinsic satisfaction, joy, happiness, fulfillment, to a job wih more money & less [or little, or no] intrinsic satisfaction? [this was plato's definition of justice: everyone doing the work they love best - like liver cells doing liver job, etc]

also: ppl doing satisfying work means higher quality work - eg, overpaying doctors, politicians, leaders, means real healing-loving ppl, etc are elbowed out by the avaricious [read 'naked empress' for a portrait of the AMA as taken over by false docs] - power corrupts, ie, the most avaricious [selfdestructive, evil, false] congregate round the biggest moneypots - eg, papacy, bishops, govt, televangelists - contrast the founding fathers fixing clergy salaries to prevent corruption of religion [fat friars], prohibiting entail, primogeniture to prevent 'pseudo-aristocracies' ie corrupt plutocracies
plus: extreme range of wealth/power is antiliberty

I need to know what REALLY makes a person crazy. While I am usually a very calm and well-composed person, lately my friends have grown worried that I'm am going hilikus. The reason for this is not important. What I'd like to know is what a sane person (that's you) thinks qualifies another as insane.

it is murder if u deprive a person of even 10 minutes of life - the extreme underpaying of 90% of ppl [getting 10th-1000th of world av hrly pay], bc of uncontrolled unjust millenia-long richgetricher etc, causes many years shortening of life for this 90% of humanity
[more disease, ignorance of health practices, cant afford health care, food, healthy water]
also the pushing 90% of ppl below the higher education level deprives us of 90% of scientists, thinkers, researchers, thought, invention, innovation, which slows down the progress of medicine to a 10th of what it wd be with everyone getting enough 'oxygen' of pay
plus 80% of research money is wasted on searching for generics to get round patents, slowing medical advance to 5th of 10th of what it cd be, can be - thus depriving almost everyone of longer life -
reducing the super-extreme range of pay/fortnight from present range of $1, to $1 billion, [1000th to mlln x av pay] is clearly the best way to lengthen human life - agree?

1] pay shd be for sacrifice/loss, the main sacr. is time [energy sacrifice differences in work are small] - no one can work more than twice the average time of work/wk - there is no reason to assume brains work longer hrs than brawn
2] isnt it like giving the brain more oxygen & blood bc it is a superior organ? - ie, both brain & muscle are indispensable to the body - starving the muscles is only making the brain hit the floor
3] while it is easy for brain to swallow that brain deserves more pay, it is hard for muscle to swallow: eg, an historical pattern of backlash is apparent in cultural revolutions, nazi anti-intellectualism [40% of nazis were primaryschool teachers], trashing of plutocracies
4] it is attributing all the goodness of the tree to the seed [ignoring soil water air sun world]
eg of glorification: 'one person who creates organisation that provides benefits to millions/ worker who simply follows the rules/orders/plans'
one person cannot create an organisation
