He said something about plenty of money for advertising in the primary. Maybe he doesn't even need mainstream media other than to put some tv commercials on, and they can hardly refuse to send the commercials. :D In the commercials they can point to ronpaul2008.com and continue with a viral campaign from there. :cool:

Business is our savior more likely. No business no money. No money no life. Bad money bad life. Good money good life. Ron Paul will make business good and will make money good. :)

Business is one of the best ways we've been enslaved. I find it funny that so many people talk about this golden age on earth that is coming up, but those same people are also so quick to go back to the old paradigm whenever it looks just a tad bit more promising than before.

I recently posted my anger and frustration at the fact that I have not been able, so far, to get my own answers about everything these conspiracy writers talk about. However, no matter what I currently think of them, they have taught me that I truly hate this system and I always had - even when I was younger and tried to fool myself.

Ron Paul works for them and he is not going to become president. I find it funny that Alex Jones, who says we don't have a choice in who becomes president, is promoting Ron Paul so much.

The business world is to a large extent still very nasty. So in that sense Ron Paul could make things worse. Competition is ok, but in the business world the competition is dysfunctional in many ways.

My proposal is to have competition in combination with "good enough" deals instead of "'best' possible" deals. And the idea is that the "good enough" approach will begin to win over the old "best possible" approach.

It's the energy vampire mindset in humanity that makes the business world unhealthy. Companies lack the big picture and must cling to their narrow self-interest in order to survive on current markets and to satisfy shareholders simplistic demands for profit and expansion.

We as customers are also to blame since we are the ones feeding this energy vampire behavior. How many people look for 'best buy' without considering the overall effect? Almost all people.

Adam Smith wrote about the 'invisible hand' in his book "The Wealth of Nations". The invisible hand moves free market economies. Unfortunately, this effect has been marginalized by the hierarchical control structures so prevalent in today's society and throughout history.

With the increased complexity of the information society, the invisible hand's self-regulating effect will become a more and more growing force. Here's where the "good enough" approach comes in. This approach will be more efficient in the new and ever more global and complex information society. If that is true, and I think it is, then Ron Paul's ideas fit very nicely into this model, and would help us to move faster into a healthier business world.

A company who's operations are based on a good enough strategy instead of a best possible deals strategy will be able to much more smoothly interact on a network basis which will give it an advantage over the old-school business strategies. Such company will find it easy to operate in even the most complex markets where old style companies will have to struggle like crazy in order to survive.

The only way you can get a company to go for the "good enough" strategy is by creating another form of control and controlling them. This philosophy, I think, is like what Icke calls "combing the mirror." We don't comb the mirror if we want to fix our hair... we comb our hair and the mirror image then changes. We can't fix our society by piling on more forms of control... we need to cleanse our psyches.

My idea was that the "good enough" strategy will turn up to be better than the old "best deal" approach.

One of the managers for Flickr said something interesting. A study was made where they payed one group of children money for learning how to write, and another group no money. And the kids who were payed how to write found writing less appealing than the other group somehow. They were not doing it for the love of writing. We find a similar phenomena among video sharing sites where sites who pay those who upload videos are less successful than those who don't pay for the same thing.

I think that doing what one loves to do has to be married with making money somehow. Not that we should always get payed for everything but that a richer model for business emerges that will allow for more flexible and enjoyable ways of making money.
