Re: It has begun - irrigating the deserts

I am thinking this is still too complicated for some people.

Lets suppose you were on your way to town in Europe to sell some
chestnuts.

And at a toll in the road, which is just a guy with a sword, he says
"I have a sword, give me 36% of your load if you want to get to town
to trade"

You say, I have a gun, and shoot him and carry on.

Now then along you go and meet a second guy on the road and he says "I
have a gun, give me 36% of your load if you want to get to town to
trade"

You say, I have a gun too, get out of my way or I will shoot you. He
moves and you are on your way.

Then you come a cross a third man, and he has his ass sucked in, and
his nose in the air and he is prancing about and speaking with a fine
British accent, and he says, "Give me 36 % of your load because (and
then he rhymes off a whole bunch of differential calculus which you do
not understand) and so you give him 36% of your load, and move on.

That is what America is doing right now.

And personally I think George should take two generals and two
admirals and go to Europe, and fall down on their knees and beg to
have that reduced to 25%.

If they prostrate themselves before them, they will reduce it to 25%
Danegeld I am almost sure of it.


And if they aren't prepared to do that, then what do you have a
military for if they can just swindle you out of 36% of your worth
with fancy words and dances?

You see my point I think.

Oh but it is sooo complicated. Isn't it? Aren't they good at prancing
and dancing! Maybe you should give them 40%

Or maybe you should say, we accept Euro at par, and we accept Chinese
dollars at par and we only trade in those currencies at par. And if
you don't like it then its off to the stockade.

And so a guy walks up to George and say but George, if you don't let
them have that exchange rate of 36% then I can't sell my widgets!

And George says, so what you are saying is, that I should allow my
ranch to be worth 36% less, so you can sell your widgets to Europe Mr.
Hasnafabaj?

Then George says, sergeant, shoot this man in the leg.

And so another guy says the same thing and George says, look fuckwad,
if you want to sell your widgets to Europe, then drop your fucking
price, do not ask me to drop the worth of my fucking ranch ok, so you
can sell your fucking widgets.
