Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen six,
result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pound
ought and six, result misery. - Charles Dickens (1812 - 1870), David
Copperfield, 1849

He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be
suspected of doing everything for money. - Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790)
=
There is some magic in wealth, which can thus make persons pay
their court to it, when it does not even benefit themselves. How strange it is,
that a fool or knave, with riches, should be treated with more respect by the
world, than a good man, or a wise man in poverty! - Ann Radcliffe, The
Mysteries of Udolpho, 1764
=
The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a
world in which it is overestimated. - H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Middle Americans unite against the great bank rescue:
"It's goddamn un-American," Mr Benway said as he leant against
his pickup outside the Thrift Store in Richfield, Minnesota. "We don't give
money to companies. We're not France - yet." For Ms Valentine, sitting in a
nearby mall: "Congress was right to vote the Bill down. It doesn't tackle the
root causes or help the people that need it."

America's War, Not Ours
By by Ahmed Quraishi
For the growing chorus in the liberal sections of the Pakistani
media that wants to 'own' this war, we must understand this: the occupation of
Afghanistan and the elimination of Afghan resistance groups is not Pakistan's
war. Our war is limited to the insurgencies raging from Gwadar to the Chinese
border with partial malicious support from the Afghan soil.

The New American Century: Cut Short By 92 Years
By Mike Whitney
There's trouble ahead. The multi-polar world is about to
collide head-on with the "faith-based" unipolar world and millions are bound to
suffer. But there is no doubt about the final outcome. The geopolitical plates
are shifting inexorably away from Washington. America's ability to wage war
will steadily erode as capital and resources dry up. Its only a matter of time
before the war machine sputters to a halt and the troops return home. When the
killing stops, a truly new world order will begin.
