Right Pi day, White day and my sister's birthday.

Happy Pi Day, everyone!

Hmm, so in the new provincial cabinet (shuffle, whatever), Ron Liepert became the Minister of Health. This is the guy who, as Minister of Education, was out of the country when the most significant teachers' contract in recent memory was announced.

And now he's promising "action" on the health portfolio, with a plan coming in three weeks.

"I did not say we were moving to more private health care," Liepert told reporters. "What I did say, is we have studied the issue to death.

...

"There will be no more studies, no more commissions, no more roundtables. It's time for action," he said.

...

"The Third Way is DOA," said Stelmach Thursday.

My bad... guess I read the effect part wrong.

Not to degenerate the quality of this board but it clearly says: "males willing to recieve fellatio". This is similar to the language they used at the Clinton impeachment; it means you ge to be Bill Clinton and someone else is Monica. TeeHee! Did I make anyone blush by reading this?

Also, you might appreciate this more than anyone, Albert.

How can you tell if you're being followed?

Uh, I think you'd be the one doing that, Al, if I'm reading that right.

I'm almost ready to sign up... it all depends on who is giving the so called stimulation...

After thinking about it, I'd have to agree with Par. As long as there is cash flow between people then the economy will keep on running. Only when the purchasing power of money is taken away will people turn to other alternatives. As with the case with the Weimar republic pre-WW2 Germany. The lack of purchasing power was caused by hyperinflation because they printed more Reichmarks to pay back reparations but didn't back there Reichmark with assets. Therefore the actual value of the dollar went down due to "dilution" of the value. Now I'm wondering what effect one person owning 99.9% of the wealth will have? As Par mentioned probally not much, sure eveyone won't have much money but if there is still cash flow there is still money going into the system. The dollar will probally gain more purchasing power since what assets that are left will be worth more.

So like Par said if there is cash flow then nothing will change. If the individual shuts down cash flow then his wealth would lose meaning, ie: cash only has value as a asset if people accept it for an asset. In other words cash only has symbolic meaning, it's hard to quantify it's actual value unless you back it up with solid assets like gold (Not done anymore). But currency is given an artificial value on the stock market, it's people's desire to make money which gives currency it's value.

Still kind of sketchy on the logic, but this is the best I can do for now.
