that's not all that great for the economy, especially the workers who's employers just lost out on those sales.

It's not, but if the money was meant for your children anyway, what's the difference?

No he doesn't! He only wants the very rich ones to do it.

How about you let me decide what I think?

Your analogy doesn't make sense. Are you saying the $100k from the parking space is "meant" for someone? Who?

If these people wanted to do some good for the world, they might use that money for good. That's your kids in this analogy. Why would they give money to Harrods (or whoever's reselling the space) if they really wanted to use it for good? They cannot be sure of what Harrods will do with it, and it's highly unlikely that it's exactly what they intend.

In other words I don't think anyone who truly wanted to do good with the money would say, "hey, the money isn't lost, it's just a transaction."

And like your analogy, are you saying that instead of selling the parking space, it should be given away? why? Neither way creates wealth. :-?

Why do we want to create wealth when it gets squandered like this? Why on Earth do Harrods need to charge people for the privilege of parking near the shop?

It should not be "given away," it should remain the property of Harrods and be freely available for the use of all their customers.

Would you care to elaborate on that? Your point's about as clear as dog poo.

No Fade did NOT write the above statement!

They were in quotes, just like you put them. If you had quoted properly, they would appear in a proper quote box. Now calm down and explain what point you were trying to prove by quoting me. It's not my fault you chose to randomly parrot back part of something I've said earlier. Go punch a wall or something. With your head, if possible.

Sorry bout that, but none of the stuff on the posting page seems to work with AOS or at least IBrowse.

Maybe I need to use a PC, as most folks seem to do here.

You can insert the tags manually though, right? I'm pretty sure I managed it when I came on here with iBrowse a couple of weeks back. :-)
