I dont spend a dime... when kids were arround Id part with a few
hundred dollars and get them something
worthwhile......now, no kids.
I often buy
myself a gift though, a real nice box of chocolates last year...
already gift wrapped..very nice..10 dollars..at the dollar store.
I kept the box for a few months.

Too much weird and too much from The Daily Mail -- I keep sneaking peeks at the
celebrity articles (most of whom I've never heard of) on the right and am
invariably disappointed.
With the latest 100 AP stories at the WashPost, you just get a nice sprinkling
of insanity amongst the more-or-less serious stuff.

Yes, I am making some napkins by hand to give to a few people. I do
have a few other people that would not appreciate them, so I give them
money. That is what some people really want, anyway.

I think this is a misinterpretation. First, their "expectations" are
based on how adults act towards them, so if you've given in the past,
they can't be blamed for expecting something in the future. Maybe
more important, mall children are eager to know about the world, and
that's an almost consuming need to see new things. It's not an issue of

Superb piece.... its coded, here is the legend.
- 'sovereign' being govt and central banks...
- 'leach' being investment banks, huge private interests etc... and
- 'subject' being us working citizens...
with the lines blurred, since about 40% of the 'workers' (subjects)
are actually civil servants or serving govt.

Why bother with that ? Get a clue and do an electronic one.
I havent bothered with presents in 40+ years.
Thats why I gave up on them more than half a century ago.

Actually, most of the rise is due to the sinking value of the dollar.
If the dollar was worth today what it was before GW decimated it, gas /
oil would be about 40-45% cheaper than it is today.

I see people who can't pay their rent/mortgage, electric bill, buy enough
food, etc. And they typically will go out and buy all sorts of Christmas
gifts....
Why?
For me it is the thought which counts. I am perfectly happy with a hand made
card which says Merry Christmas!
Or perhaps a card which says "Merry Christmas - We are broke this year and

Right. But you have to ask the next question: "Efficiency in

The answer is, efficient collection of profits, of course. But how

Our fuel price's at the gas pump are going up for one reason only.
Most people are doing the same old same old, living in the past like
it was in the 60's, 70's and 80's. Yes the price of fuel and
everything else was at the right price. Now, Today, China & the US Gov
work to drive prices up to support their habits not yours as you see.
