He thinks the banking system is the root of all our problems and if we all withdrew our money simultaneously the banks would collapse and everything would be fine.<br />
He says: "We must go to the bank. In this case there would be a real revolution. It's not complicated; instead of going on the streets and driving kilometres by car you simply go to the bank in your country and withdraw your money, and if there are a lot of people withdrawing their money the system collapses. No weapons, no blood, or anything like that."<br />

There are so many holes in this argument it's difficult to know where to start.<br />
What do you do with your money if you take it out?<br />
Criminals must be rubbing their hands with glee at the prospect of people roaming the streets pockets stuffed full of cash.<br />
What happens to the people who can't get their money out?<br />
They lose it because their bank will have collapsed. Banks do not have enough cash to give everyone their money. It's the banking business model.<br />
The banks owe billions to the taxpayer, if they collapse they won't be able to pay it back, ever.<br />
Banking panics cause recessions, they don't cure them.<br />
This is a time for calm not panic.<br />
Eric is suffering from delusions of grandeur. Just because he could kick a ball, and a fan, does not mean his social solutions have any value at all. Most of us are intelligent enough to realise that - the rest of society will be at the cashpoints on December 7.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14244692633762380065noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685288704304451534.post-80826646335310647432010-11-22T11:23:00.001+00:002010-11-22T13:30:32.046+00:00Sarah Palin - grim realityIf I was to say that the person who could be the next leader of the free world has just launched a reality TV show on a channel called TLC you might think I was pulling your leg.<br />
Not so.<br />
Sarah Palin's Alaska shows the Tea Party queen hunting, shooting and fishing in the wilderness state in a thinly-disguised bid to show voters that she's just an ordinary mom.<br />

<br />
And in an illuminating piece in today's International Herald Tribune <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/21/opinion/21rich.html?src=me&ref=opinion">Frank Rich</a> points out that 'her amateurism and liabilities are badges of honor'.<br />
Perhaps she's not as stupid as we thought she was.<br />
But should we be worried that she could be the next president of the United States?<br />
Barack Obama's ineffectiveness, despite going into the job with the best of intentions, suggests the office is one that is dogged by inertia, so maybe not.<br />
The US has a track record of electing presidents not overburdened with intelligence. <br />

They <a href="http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/administration/news/newsid=1158783.html#statement+thierry+henry">say</a> there was 'no legal foundation for the committee to consider the case because handling the ball cannot be regarded as a serious infringement'.<br />
It's time FIFA rewrote their code of conduct to encompass such flagrant cheating.<br />
