It's a tangled skein.<BR/><BR/>I don't think Alan Greenspan is a hero of the little people, though.<BR/>No Robin Hood, he!<BR/><BR/>Bink--that is VERY IMPORTANT info about the saints relics! <BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>My main interest is the way the Internet opens up options for artists of all sorts to share their work. <BR/>How it will radically change our economic system is a secondary interest but of huge, vital importance. It could be for the better...or not...<BR/>Could it be much worse than the stranglehold of our multinational corporations?Frescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323129046492056942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-65216653383808406432008-02-11T14:08:00.000-06:002008-02-11T14:08:00.000-06:00I remember standing before a display of "Steal thi...I remember standing before a display of "Steal this Book" books...and wondering how/if I could really steal it (was a kid about 12). I didn't seriously try. I didn't have big enough pockets or a coat. Besides I was the good kid who never even stole Baby Ruths or Butterfingers at the drug store even when my friends did. As an adult I had to work up the courage to pop a grape into my mouth at the grocery store to see if they were sweet enough to buy...that's how goody-two-shoes I was...so I was not about really "steal this book". <BR/><BR/>But Robin Hood was one of my earliest heros...and I'm still a big fan. Having been stolen from, I know it hurts to get robbed...but I can still get behind the "robbing from the rich to give to the poor" in concept....because it's the problem there that the rich aren't giving it away to the poor in the manner they ought to enter the kingdom of heaven anyway? Robbery as a key to the kingdom of heaven? Maybe...maybe not.<BR/><BR/>Saints relics used to be stolen all the time in the middle ages. It wasn't considered a sin because if you managed to steal the relics (which could mean a major economic boon from pilgrims to your church/abbey/town) then it meant the saint wanted to go with you and approved of the theft.<BR/>Maybe that's the case with more stuff than relics...<BR/>those Baby Ruths wanted to go with me...I just wasn't listening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229875339727095184.post-42580440407381090682008-02-11T11:47:00.000-06:002008-02-11T11:47:00.000-06:00Yes, it would be illogical, IF. . .we didn't cheat...Yes, it would be illogical, IF. . .we didn't cheat someone else in the process.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure Greenspan was talking about the hoards of people running to get rich by throwing their money into the stock market in the hopes of getting rich, thereby causing the market to inflate, then dip and consequently make little people with little (like myself)lose money and eventually have large companies rip off their clients and eventually cause a recession. Ah! Aren't blogs wonderful!! Nobody will ever want to steal your blog, only read it every day. And you will get another meaningful horoscope like todays: "When you present your ideas, you may not get the response you were hoping for, but be assured, this was a positive step. Accept that your project is a work in process and you're definitely on the right track."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
