The value of money is determined by what it can buy. A healthy economy features a high volume of buying and selling. Each time a transaction takes place, the overall robustness of the economy is enhanced. When psychological factors impede the spending of money, the whole economy suffers. Fear and caution can be as powerful as actual insolvency in stopping the flow of currency. When resources are simply unavailable, there is no choice but to stop spending. It is when resources are limited that consideration of expenditures becomes critical to the health of the economy. Just as no individual can survive outside their environment, so no commercial enterprise can survive independent of the worldwide economy. Each part of the economy interacts with the whole, and what impacts one sector inevitably impacts the others. Although the impact of spending is often indirect, it is nevertheless powerful. The ability to acquire and use commodities, to produce and process goods, to provide services and information: all these functions depend upon a vigorous rate of exchange of currency. The expectation of a continuation of a high level of activity facilitates the kind of long-range planning and capital investments required to secure a prosperous future. Therefore, the importance of the role of the individual cannot be emphasized enough. Each person who realizes how important their decisions are to the world they live in brings us all that much closer to the healthy economical environment we all require to survive.

He gave himself to you
Like a big bright birthday cake
With swirls of creamy icing
And candles you could never blow out

For a marriage he gave you a party
He danced and played the clown
Twisting balloons into hearts
And singing funny songs for the crowd

The guest of honor was the boy
You'd loved and desired all along
And while you laughed at your clown
You saved your secret smiles for the other one

When the tears streaked the grin
Your clown painted on for you
Even the muzzle in his mouth
Couldn't blow away the pain fast enough

So he took his bitter show on the road
Searching for his angel of light
But a demon found him first
And seduced him like a lover in the dark

Omatha, you're not guilty
But your faithless face haunted him
And those girls never knew what he meant
When he said, "Omatha, this one's for you."

Credentials: Certificate of Ordination

From FNORDS

Fnord 89 In Code

Whenever I have tried to follow the advice of the CONSPIRACY about organizing against the stroke-scarcity economy ("89" in code), I have just wound up with new plastic bags for old. ~ Kerry Thornley, Factsheet Five #38
