Okay, I did my job even if I disliked it.
I broke what I had written of The Prize into three sections; the Introduction, Section 1 – A Sort of Sordid History, and Section 2 – A Not So Sordid History.
I hope you all are happy now. [smiles]
I think I need to add some more sordidness to the not-so-sordid section.
If there is an “economic cliff” approaching as the press reports in the USA, the world should be on alert [as if they weren’t] to the calamitous possibilities.
[Okay peanut, the rest is just extra credit, not required reading. It just says it is time for a change.]
When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for people to dissolve the governmental binds which have served them, and to assume among the powers of the world of humanity, the separate and equal station to which the natural laws of all people entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of all people requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to create a new set of ethical economic conventions.
[double post, and hats off to the original Yankee Doodle Dandies, Jefferson, et. al ]
There are unalienable rights that all people are endowed with, among them are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
To secure these rights, Governments are instituted deriving just powers from the consent of the governed, to control an ethical economic set of conventions; but should any form of government become destructive of these ends, it is the right and duty of the people alter or abolish it, and institute new conventions founded on principles and powers in whatever form shall seem most likely to effect their unalienable rights.
Prudence dictates that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly experience has shown, that mankind is more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long history of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute authoritarianism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such governmental agency, and to provide new protections for their future security.

A Nobel Laureate says some Bankers should go to jail.
Still, I had an empty feeling when Bernie Madoff was sentenced.
What Mitt did in business should also be considered fraud.
I think Ole Harvard taught Mitt how to steal, it too should be buried.
Too much blood is crimson. Too much power is too much.
The sky dropped a heavy rain for a few minutes, now it is quiet again.
It is the quiet that makes noise seem loud.
The noise made the quite seem loud.
I need some coffee.

From Barack Obama to Bill Shockley, greed was around, but it was the Committee that earned the brunt of the shocking controversies. Makes a person wonder what goes on in the minds of the people on the Committee.
Six is a nice time to start the day, seven is better sometimes [smiles].
Funny, I am walking for my health and enjoyment, and a friend stops and goes to quite some trouble to offer me a ride. I know he means well, and I like his was friendly intentions. In this island culture I have learned that he most likely wanted to have some conversation. I enjoyed the ride and the conversation.
Today he will bring one of his friend’s computers round to the house for me to remove the Babylon Search malware. I have this love-hate relationship with computers. I cannot even blame religion for non-approval of my divorcing computers. If I have to hate something, it might as well be something as hateful as a computer while loving something as useful as a computer. [smiles]
I am here, therefore so is the computer. Well, I have been married to computers this long, I am not going to end it now. After all, my wife left me long ago…

Morning was heralded by the white noise of gentle rain falling on a jungle canapé. Soon the roosters will crow and the early yellow light of a new day will part the unrelenting clouds of most every day. They will mind their place atop Mt. Waialeale. The Sun lights the way of people while they bustle to and fro as if they were not living on some paradisiacal island.
My habitual use of coffee does not diminish my enjoyment. I have limited my consumption to one cup in the morning [usually]. The ritual of brewing creates an aroma that begins to stimulate my mood.
What shall I do with The Prize today? It is getting too long for one page. I guess I will have to overcome my reluctance and I will just have to use some workaround to break it up into parts.
