Thought for the day

The problem today is, children aren't punished for doing wrong, they are just rewarded less.
Every deed is rewarded, whether it is good or bad, just the reward is varied.
So there really isn't good or bad, just less good.
 
Discussions between mining companies in far off lands.

President of Kapeander Limited, We are never going to get those three mining directors to agree to our terms. We say $600 million and they are set solid at $800 million and wont budge. So what I suggest is that their tenements are far away from home and we do understand how tough it is to be out here amongst the flies and other nasties and we should fully understand how much they are suffering and compensate them for all that has gone by that is far beyond their stipend package.

Offer to buy their watches off them for $2 million each and go to $3 million if they hold out.

Later, Job done Mr President.

Close of final meeting. It is with great pleasure I can confirm that our 3 visiting 'most excellent' mining directors have seen fit to accept our outstanding offer of $600 million for the tenements.

I listen to him and I agree he is right.
I listen to the other and she is right after all.
On listening further to him he is definitely right,
But then maybe she was right on listening all,

If I belonged to his party he would be right.
On belonging to her party she would be right.
Then surely as surely be I am biased.
Unless dutifully one can pretend to be right.

If I'm biased I'll be wrong about half the time.
If I'm not biased I am confused.
So is it better to be biased or confused?
Probably best not spend the time.

A country's system that allows substantial wealth to be passed from one generation to another causes in society people who are 'Inferior Superiors' and 'Superior Inferiors'. Thus so many are in wrong positions.
 
Good fortune favours the brave in trading. Though very a many are shirtless.
 
Lord Wotnot: "one gets increasingly angry when they (the surfs) keep putting their snouts to the trough and increasingly so as they be mine. This has come to pass since they have been provided with meat when gruel will suffice. For one day each year they are given free rides on my carriages a joyous occasion and one wonders whether I pamper them far too much." "indeed my Lord, I will pass your words on to my staff to pass on to the villagers on their afternoon off each month. You are Milord too good to us", said the Butler. Lord Wotnot,"INDEED!"
 
"Quite a good prayer, unselfish too", he told the Sunday Times in 1985. "It is a sort of acknowledgment of God, just in case there happens to be one" - Stanley Owen Green
 
It is sometimes forgotten that a bull market climbs a wall of fear whilst a bear market descends a slope of hope. There are still quite a lot of hopers around.
And it is also sometimes forgotten that bear markets rise two thirds of the time. - Evil Knievil., Master Investor
