THE OLD CONSPIRACY CRAP | 2007-03-25

AFKAN and Mr. Webb gave me about the same comment today. Like the guy who sent the PM saying he would deign to speak to me if I gave the right answer, they want to know WHO is the group that is running the world. Mr. Webb says it's someone called the media and AFKAN says it's the Jews.

I have been where a lot of power is, and the world just isn't BUILT that way.

I have said before that if you want lots of financial advice, just go to a bar, find a guy who is nursing his rink because he can't afford another, and buy him lots of liquor. He will tell you all abut money. He will tell you all the people with money have a conspiracy gong. He will tell you how, if he had some money, he would quickly to a billionaire.

Advice from people who actually HAVE money, and especially those who MAKE money, is a little harder to come by. It also is not as appealing as the broke drunk's advice was. The broke drunk has 1) a quicky formula or 2) He explains why it isn't your fault you're not rich.

In other words, he tells you why 1) it's easy, or 2) it's hopeless. Either way, it takes the burden completely off of you.

People who have actually had to deal with either money or power cannot sympathize with you if you think it's hopeless, and are not about to tell you it is easy.

Speaking of easy, I am getting bored with Mr. Webb's substituting insults for thoughts. He has not had one single useful concept and every post includes a personal insult. I am good about allowing this kind of childish behavior, but I am not going to keep on flouting my tolerance at the expense of ideas.

Something else you will not gain money or power by doing is substituting nastiness for thought.
