creative destruction and karl du fresne

5* to the old curmudge for his little sketch on generic blondes on teevee news.
(hey karl if you come here please clik on the adds so I make some dough, OK?)
they should have an annual beauty competition for 'news sheilas"
and their diction.
some of it isn't too good.
worst of all is the  male mark shrewsbreweery who insists on putting an "r" before every vowel in every word.
better watch out or they will all start doing it.
just in case they want to do the old greaseup to marky mark!
but the good thng is that TVNZ has some editorial oversight and banning the use of interrogatives has lifted their performance out of the banal and into the upper reaches of objective journalism.
Top marks to TVNZ.
having a hard time with Alan Greenspans "Age of Turbulence".
some of his history is wonk.
just like Adam Smith's conjectures in the wealth of Nations about the division of labour and the invention of money.
see durkheim on organic and mechanical societies.
as for moeny it seems as if it wa invented to pay for grain shipments from Egypt to Asia Minor and then crept itw way into common usage but I could be wrong.
the fact is that money either goes where it will find a profit (increase) or it goes where someone wants to showoff. e.g. Midas, titanic, or any number of other wasteful ventures designed solely to exhibit the power of the owner.
sad but true ducks.
if its mine then I can do what I like with it!
but Hayek's notion ( or is it Schumpeter) of creative destruction is right but its wrong.
if you know what I mean.
Whole forests disappearing in Thailand just to provide aromatic woods for rich Chinese coffin tops.
whole speicies of  megafauna disappearing for the trinket trade.

whole music genres disappearing to get hip with the latest style (hahahahahahahaha f*cking ha).
how many songs have you heard lately that you can whistle the melody to or for that matter even remember?

LATE EXTRA
had to turn  the 20/20 cricket off.
the commentators are infuriating.
every second utterance is followed by an interrogative.
I know these guys aren't mental giants but its obvious they are bullies and used to getting their own way.
ignorant and arrogant. so used to having everybody kissing their ass that they dont believe that they have to change.
well they do.
they are bringing the game into disrepute.
and its about time New Zealand Cricket issued some directives.
