Jim Rogers (LOL) via Lew Rockwell:
*Conduct your own research and trust your own judgment.
*Focus on what you yourself love.
*Be persistent.
*Broaden your horizons and see as much of the world as you can.
*The most important thing you can learn is how to think and question everything you hear.
*Study and learn from history.
*Master more than one language – and make sure one of them is Mandarin.
*Don’t panic.
*Take care of yourself and don’t neglect the sunscreen.
*Remember that boys need girls more than girls need boys.”

My Comment
Good advice all of it, and on the money, except for that last bit. Mr. Rogers makes a chivalrous..and politically correct… genuflection, but the truth is, women need men as much as men need women, only in different ways.
But, of course, a certain sort of feminist is only too happy to have political correctness coincide with chivalry when it suits her.
“…it always helps in a sucker’s game to get the suckers to think they need to buy whatever it is you’re selling them more than you need to sell it.”

Don’t fricken’ panic.
Chinese is hard to learn.
Nothin’ worth havin’ is easy.
*Be persistent. Not bull-headed and stubborn.
Who is the sucker in the room? If I don’t know, it’s me.
How do I get off this ride?
The Boomers will be retiring soon and selling off their retirement investments and there will be no one to buy it, except the Chinese and a few others, and they’re only buying the gold and silver, maybe real estate.
Buying gold is wealth preservation, buying gold is what you do with savings. If you don’t have savings you shouldn’t buy gold? Or, sell everything and buy gold and silver? Oh boy, what a ride.
Hey Clark –
I wasn’t talking about gold.
I was talking about the sales pitch women have got going..i.e. men need them more than they need men.
Sure…
Just hang out with a bunch of average women and listen to the conversation:
How to get a man..
How to keep a man..
How to keep the man’s money..
How to get the man to give you money.
How to get kids from the man..
How to keep kids from the man..
How to keep other women from the man..
With some variations, that’s also what your average bunch of men talk about too..
How to get a woman
How to get money to get a women
How to get a woman without money
How to keep other men from a woman
Not to be a reductionist but did you ever read Shaw? Back to Methuselah, I think..
Gold? I don’t know.
I’m not in it.

Not in gold? I’m surprised.
Never read Shaw, I’ll have to look it up sometime.
Re: men need women – HAHAHAHA… HAHAHA!
Want, not need. A want as powerful as a need, but not a need.
If it’s dark and scary, heavy or high up, and has furry legs, many women need a man then, not vise versa, imho.
Always the exceptions I suppose.
A thought occurred to me as I drove past yet another guy holding a give me money cardboard sign at the off ramp to the Interstate hyway… I have never seen a woman doing this. One time I saw a woman and she was with a guy, but Never a woman by herself.
Must be for the same reason I’ve never seen a drunkin’ bunch of guys jump on a complete stranger (a guy) for hitting another complete stranger (also a guy) but if it’s a complete stranger girl being hit by a guy, wham!
Re: not in gold. I completely forgot about the dirt article and how dirt is compared to gold. I can’t believe I forgot that. Information overload I guess.
