Once upon a time in a village, a man appeared and announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for £10 each. The villagers,
seeing that there were many monkeys around, went out to the forest,
and started catching them.

The man bought thousands at £10 and as supply started to diminish, the
villagers stopped their effort. He then announced that he would now
buy at £20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started
catching monkeys again.

Soon the supply diminished even further and people started going back
to their farms. The offer increased to £25 each and the supply of
monkeys became so little that it was an effort to even see a monkey,
let alone catch it!

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at £50. However, since
he had to go to the city on some business, his assistant would now buy
on behalf of him.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers, “Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will
sell them to you at £35 and when the man returns from the city, you
can sell them to him for £50 each.”

The villagers hurried round with their savings and bought all the
monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant again, only bloody
monkeys everywhere!

Now you have a better understanding of how the stock market works.

looks like another dumb bollix n pricks socialist post....

what is the meaning of this idiot's tale/tail?

is it to advertise plentiful meat?
or is
it to ask what the fool and his assistant achieved with all
their unproductive efforts....a pile of paper perhaps....

and now how are they going to spend the paper?
buy meat at 20,000,000,000,000,000 zimbabwean socialist dollars
an ounce?

For the sake of us Americans who barely use the word "bloody" in
the British context, it might be noteworthy to mention that no monkeys
were slaughtered in the course of all of this. :)

Interesting analogy.

There can't possibly BE too many egalitarian judges, since ALL
of them are constrained to rule *within* the parameters of the
Constitution. NO judge can *contradict* the Constitution. In
any given case, there is only so much potential "gray area" wiggle
room within which one must rule, or contradiction would occur.

The BEST judges are the fair-minded, sensible, and compas-
sionate ones who rule as close as they possibly can to the param-
eter that affords the most personal freedom for individuals. As
an envelope is defined by it's edges, it's a case of staying inside
of the envelope so as to still be mailable, with the *content*
always being snugly against the edge called "liberty."

Individual freedom should be PARAMOUNT, and NO President
or Senate should EVER be responsible for appointing/confirming
a Justice that doesn't make it unequivocally *clear* that he/she
will steadfastly seek to defend and support it to the fullest extent
possible. There is NOTHING good to be gained by installing a
repressive Justice. That is one of the most *harmful* actions that
a President or Senator can do to his/her country.

We MUST **keep** EGALITARIAN judges in the majority in
the U.S. Supreme Court. And to do that, we MUST elect Obama.

HIGHLY useful and thought-provoking.
