We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

  • Quit wishing: Start planning… Find a way to serve the pblic, earn a profit and have more than a modicum of fun-!

    The wealthy know they must put capital at risk toearn above average returns… Can you produce a profit with their capital-? Can you take the toy of wishes and find a use that will earn a profit for others-? If so, your skills and the investor’s capital will create a business. The investor will take a risk and share the profits… Are you good enough-? Is the plan strong enough-? Or is it just wishful bar-talk-?

    (NOTE: You= impersonal pronoun and NOT specicifally any single person.)

    This is the difference between America and Canada-UK-Europe-Japan… The individual can create value from the obvious…

    $1,380,000 is a truly amazing price for a 5-seat business jet. One could run a nice little European commuter service with a few of those … just think of the fares you could charge all those EuroMPs for a return to Strasbourg.

    Dale – are you sure they’re a UK company? Their website lists “facilities in London, Ontario, Canada and Wiener Neustadt, Austria.”

    I think you will find London, Ontario, Canada is one place 🙂 Its a city called London in the Province of Ontario in Canada 🙂

    I only know this because I was looking at some facebook pages for RUSH and they played there the other night, and I was perplexed as I thought the London dates were in October :). I know the Newcastle one is a week on Friday I have my ticket 🙂

    Later
