Commentary

Fortunately for me, I did not take any science classes in college, Rep. Bachmann. Stephen Hawking was wrong godammit!! 

“The true spirit of usury lies in taking an unjust and unreasonable advantage of their fellow creatures.”

“The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.”
“Most men love money and security more, and creation and construction less, as they get older.”
John Maynard Keynes 
“For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to everyone that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still. For only they can lead us out of the tunnel of economic necessity into daylight.”

“Usury once in control will wreck the nation.”
William Lyon Mackenzie King
“By means of the banking system the distribution of capital as a special business, a social function, is taken out of the hands of the private capitalists and usurers. But at the same time, banking and credit thus become the most potent means of driving capitalist production beyond its own limits, and one of the most effective vehicles of crises and swindle.”

“If our nation can issue a dollar bond, it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good, makes the bill good, also. The difference between the bond and the bill is the bond lets money brokers collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%, whereas the currency pays nobody but those who contribute directly in some useful way. It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30 million in bonds and not $30 million in currency. Both are promises to pay, but one promise fattens the usurers and the other helps the people.”

Sorry not sure where the whole Usury thing came from. Blame Bill Drummond. 

Whilst we’re here actually…

Fancy a trip round the natural history museum? I wouldn’t both mate. Why do that when you can just sit behind your computer and do it (click image). Who needs the outdoors anything?!
