It draws the boys attention and they subsequently make sexual mistakes, very similar to what typical people experience nearly a decade later.&lt;br /&gt;When they &amp;quot;turn&amp;quot; people on and start telepathically talking to them with this technology is very similar::The end of their chance.  They segment families, convince them &amp;quot;earning&amp;quot; is the way, etc.&lt;br /&gt;I tell people to examine the change between when they were children and after they began to hear.  It is the difference between good and evil.&lt;br /&gt;I understand people&amp;#39;s confusion:::They literally hear &amp;quot;God&amp;quot; in their head, as opposed to what was taught to them in some church&amp;#39;s classroom.

I make no comment about where doctors spend their money - fixing the sick and easing the end of the dying is your job. I know nothing about medicine. However I do know a wee bit about business - and a bit less about money theory. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;None of us is perfect. I could usefully go and see my GP - get cholestrerol measured, get shouted at about the beer drinking, one of my ears seems not to work... But, heck, I'm busy. I am another twat middle-aged fool waiting until bits start dropping off before I bother to come and see you. Mad.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And guess what? I have almost always been self-employed. When I took out my mortgage all those years ago it was self-certified. I am that sub-prime chav.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Likewise, although I sympathise a lot with you guys and what you put up with, not all of what all of you say on here is 100% without need of counsel. A bit of outside expertise and advice is useful, you know. That is as long as it is advice and not some mad, Stalinist measuring bureaucracy or some other sundry political bullshit. But I make no comment about all that normally because of what you say here 90-odd percent is spot on. I merely say that medical people should do medical things and business people should do business things. Where these things join the business supports the medicine; the medicine should not be controlled by the business. (Rule 1 of 1: Wasters of either expertise should be fired asap.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The banks do indeed have to be kept alive. More accurately a system of banking needs to exist. It need not be the one we have. For instance, investment banking - as we knew it, three weeks ago anyway - has ceased to exist. I have a boring and technical answer about the structure of money and what sort of paper instruments should be allowed to be traded. eg The securitising of shit risk and the flogging of it down a chain so long has gone so far that the the end buyer just cannot know whether he's bought the Ritz or a rat-hole. This is mad and morally wrong. It's all but thieving from widows and orphans. I will not trouble you with the detail. Just let it be said that all bets are off. What next week will bring will curl your toes, Sir. Bloomberg is better than the Horror Channel at the moment.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/4506392762706140518/comments/default/815141908826364714'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/4506392762706140518/comments/default/815141908826364714'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drrant.net/2008/10/every-cloud.html?showComment=1223764631499#c815141908826364714' title=''/><author><name>Menelaus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drrant.net/2008/10/every-cloud.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-4506392762706140518' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/posts/default/4506392762706140518' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-378503666398157861</id><published>2008-10-11T22:32:21.012+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-11T22:32:21.012+01:00</updated><title type='text'>MenelausA paediatrician once commented that the fi...</title><content type='html'>Menelaus&lt;BR/&gt;A paediatrician once commented that the first twenty four hours of life were the most risky.

Devaluing the currency. Running up debt. &lt;/I&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I never supported New Labour (I did manage to force myself to vote for them in '97); I am a socialist, after all. But it's a bad idea to forget the way Thatcher deindustrialised the UK, the way her government lashed out at doctors, her privatisation, her dirigisme in education and elsewhere, her squandering of North Sea Oil and gas --and so on and so on.

("Financial colossus"? Prat!) Throwing money at a falling market is just plain dim. You would get more fun out of it if you set fire to it and threw it out the window. It is classic "bad money". It isn't worth anything now and still will have to be paid back in proper good money when the new day comes. They even prattle about Iceland on the telly. But I digress.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You mix up, I think, the market in general and the silly notion of a market in (universal) health care. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The incautious banks are being slaughtered in the streets - or rather that's what should be happening. They are paying the price of their stupidity and excesses - or they should be. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;We do not have the same attitude to, say, a smokin' and drinkin', STD-ridden, puking and penniless human being. We don't let them die in a heap of rags on the street. Why? Because we have decided not to put a value on the lives of human beings. We just help them regardless of their stupidity and weakness. This is civilisation. It is nothing to do with markets. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Just enjoy the spectacle if you can and must but stick to your knitting, Sir.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And btw it's my children's pensions too, and possibly their children's.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/4506392762706140518/comments/default/2233577316057536408'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/4506392762706140518/comments/default/2233577316057536408'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.drrant.net/2008/10/every-cloud.html?showComment=1223630324556#c2233577316057536408' title=''/><author><name>Menelaus</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.drrant.net/2008/10/every-cloud.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-4506392762706140518' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/28089527/posts/default/4506392762706140518' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28089527.post-1152225962903056393</id><published>2008-10-10T07:12:50.770+01:00</published><updated>2008-10-10T07:12:50.770+01:00</updated><title type='text'>"It was the age of credulity.

It was as though millions of consumers expected to accumulate the riches of dreams through little more than positive thinking and negative saving.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;With the aid of "sophisticated" finance – ie, unbridled borrowing – simple folk were able to mimic the lifestyles of higher orders in the hope of becoming like them.
