quadrillion dollar powder keg waiting to blow, page-12

losses that may exceed the World's GDP.

It is now reasonable and feasible to make any statement however outlandish....

tomorrow it might be true

I sometimes now reflect on expressions like SUBPRIME, TOXIC WASTe, VALUE DESTRUCTION etc

All these derivatives are are 'offspring' of mathematical geniuses who normally should be in academia inspiring the next generation to creativity and imagination. But alas the salary or as our Us friends would say ...compenstation is not nearly attractive enough.
It has got down to this that money is THE ONLY VALUE WE HAVE left............

People talk about the goal of life being SELF ACTUALISATION....

Can you imagine the self esteem problems that these "SMARTEST IN THE ROOM' have now.
There was so much potential in a life of many gifts, but instead of that their work is being described as 'TOXIC WASTE'

Unenlightened approaches to salary levels is the CANCER at the heart of western society.In the US we have the well paid preacher. How paradoxical
Is this cancer inoperable?

I hope not.
China does appear to be any less materialistic, it may very well be more so.
it is imperative that this salary question be addressed otherwise the cancer will eat through and back to the stone age is our back to the future.
