WITH THE MARKET SO PREDICTABLE I MAY CLOSE THIS BLOG FROM MAY 1ST UNTIL AROUND AUGUST 1ST...AND THE START OF THE CONVENTION SEASON...
THIS IS JUST THE MOST BORING MARKET IMAGINABLE...
THIS IS LIKE WATCHING GRASS GROW... BUT IF YOU WANT TO DO THAT YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE AND LOOK AT THE REAL THING NOW THAT THE WARM WEATHER IS BACK.
ESSENTIALLY THE DIE IS CAST FOR THIS MARKET AND THE US ECONOMY...THE ONLY QUESTION IS WHEN WILL REALITY KICK IN...IN A WAY THAT THE MARKET MASTERS LOSE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION...
I MAY KEEP THIS BLOG OPEN THIS SUMMER ONLY FOR THE INEVITABLE "MAJOR" MARKET AND POLITICAL EVENTS... NOT THE DAY TO DAY YADA YADA AS NOW. I WILL MISS MY "LITTLE ESSAYS" BUT THEN MAYBE NOT...
WELL, LET'S SEE HOW THINGS GO...AFTER THE FED MEETING THIS WEEK. PERHAPS THE FED STATEMENT WILL SHAKE RATTLE AND ROLL THE TORPID CROWD ON THE STREET...?
OR PERHAPS I COULD ONLY POST HERE IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING...THAT WOULD BE DIFFERENT... FRENCH, THEN GERMAN, THEN RUSSIAN... BUT CHRIST THAT WOULD SOUND LIKE THOSE STUPID FRENCH PLAYS BY BECKETT... AND ALL THOSE TECHNICAL ECONOMIC WORDS AND IDIOMS...! BUT THEN ALL LANGUAGE IS IDIOM... EVERY SINGLE WORD IS IDIOMATIC AT SOME LEVEL. THAT'S WHY WE CAN'T "UNDERSTAND" THE ARABS AND THE ASIANS...THEY HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DIALOG RUNNING IN THEIR HEADS...TRANSLATION IS FUTILE..
ONLY AN APPROXIMATION AT BEST.
BUT ARE WORDS REALLY NECESSARY TO THINKING...? DO DEAF PEOPLE THINK IN SIGN LANGUAGE...THEY SEEM TO BE QUITE NORMAL AND LIKE THE REST OF US... LANGUAGE IS REALLY THE SOURCE OF ALL EVIL...ONCE YOU GET LANGUAGE AND WRITING ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE... WHAT ARE THESE SYMBOLS ON PAPER...? THEY ONLY MEAN WHAT WE WANT THEM TO MEAN...
HOW CAN THE WORD "WHY" BE PRONOUNCED SO DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT LANGUAGES AND STILL "MEAN" THE SAME THING...? WE KNOW THE DANGERS OF IDIOM AND "FALSE FRIENDS" AFTER ALL
THROUGH LANGUAGE YOU GET RELIGION...THE GREATEST EVIL OF THE ALL!!
THAT'S WHEN THE PRIESTS START DRAWING AND QUARTERING PEOPLE...OR CUTTING OUT THEIR HEARTS AND OFFERING THEM TO THE SUN GODS...! WRITING HAS ITS ROOTS IN RELIGION...AND RELIGION IS JUST ANOTHER FORM OF GOVERNMENT...A MEANS OF ELITE CONTROL OF THE VAST NUMBER OF STUPIDS THAT MAKE UP THE MAJORITY IN MOST SOCIETIES.
