Was Ponzi wrong?
Or just too outrageous?

After all, our "economic system" is just a low-level Ponzi scheme. Back when money was money, meaning before 1913, we did not have inflation. Since then, yikes. Google "inflation calculator" and you'll have a lot of tools at your disposal to see how much damage has been done.

The first thing you do to save an injured body, whether human or politic, is stop the bleeding, right? Go back to some kind of stable basis. I read a sci-fi story once where the basic unit was the hour of labor. Great idea. Your hour is the same as my hour. Of course, just like in Animal Farm, some were more equal than others — in this utopia the undesirable jobs were paid double or more. Not like here, huh?

Amaranth Quiche!!
Pick 'em young, pull off the leaves, and steam 'em.

Then put the steamed leaves in as you might spinach. Turned out pretty good. Might be even better if we had the right cheese.

Goat Milk
Natural Antibiotic
(egad! I just noticed that I never finished this and it was just sitting quietly* in 'drafts' ...
(later: I noticed an unpaired parenthesis. Better to have to of those ...

Some years ago we had a cat who was headed downhill and suffice to say he was cured by goat milk.

Maybe I was going to tell the story ... but I'll leave it at that.

*You don't need books and videos about how to meditate. It's simple:
Don't just do something, sit there!!

Dogmatic or Catmatic? You decide.
Integrated or Outegrated?

I once made an outegrated circuit. And it worked. Might even later fill in the details. Right now I'm cooking chicken so my attention span has some demands on it. And actually writing on line makes for some kind of psychic pressure, probably stemming from the days when it would be tying up the phone line while I sat back and thunk (past of think).
