I came across this today, in a report on Davos:

Quote :
Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh and the father of microcredit, saw a silver lining in the financial crisis.

“It’s not just disappointment and frustrations,” he said. “This is the greatest moment we have because things need to be changed, it’s as simple as that. We don’t want to go back to the same normalcy that we’re coming from. We will create a new normalcy which will stay and keep on moving and change the world.”

As long as that is based on the full spectrum of Smithian economic principles, then it is something which is workable.

I suspect we are ready to build on that spectrum in an innovative way.

Doesn't really need it, Smith's vision is timeless.

Timeless and enduring, but limited by its essentially mechanical quality, and lacking the analytical incisiveness conferred by Hegelian dialectics.

Explain how it is limited by its essentially mechanical quality. Smith's writings on the necessity for the rule of law and his canons of taxation apply universally.

Emmmmmmm, not sure, might have been the old Sibín. Certainly didn't have its own thread.

Are you replacing it with a shower or another bath?

Dunphy, John Waters and Eoghan Harris on the Late Late

Mother of God we'll never get away from the Great Depression ! The Great Depression Part Deux has invaded the Sibin Reoite - aarrgghh!

Quick,

What's the volume of water in a bath compared to a shower ???

(my shower in Spain broke once for a month and I rigged up a 5 litre canister of warm water that was perfectly sufficient. 5 litres of water would go nowhere in a bath. Bath = dinosaur/Mills and Boon sextoy)

A shower. We only use it as a shower anyway. Not used as a bath for 5 years now so out it went. Looks like a bomb hit the place now.

Bit of an issue here at home. It's an old house with only one main bathroom at the moment, could have more if I ever get round to it. I love a long hot bath. However, majority opinion at home seems to be in favour of a shower only. Question

What's the current thinking re bathrooms? Or should I say, what do we think people will want in about 2 years time?!

Sorry Johnfas, to cut in on Harris, Cowen and the Famine.

How do ye all feel about Harris anyway these days? Didn't Waters have something in the Times in the last couple of days? meant to read.

I'm quite happy to feck the bath out Atticus. No body uses it. It's used as a shower tray, so is harder to get in and out of. It's a sefety hazard for the kids with wet floors etc.

If I want a bath I'll sit down in the shower and pretend ...

Dunphy is playing a blinder ...

ps

watch the pay levels of these fellas (like Dunphy) falling over the next while. 10% cut my hole - 10% of what they're earning now more like.

Because people will fuck them off the top of the Titanic

In fairness Harris (though I disagree with alot of what he is saying) is right that Dunphy is playing to the gallery. Dunphy loves to get a cheer. But then again, the three of them are all talking nonsense. Dunphy wants the crowd to cheer him, Harris just doesn't have a notion and Waters as usual seems to think he is out in a garden picking some daisies.

Excellent recount johnfás. Waters definitely thought it was a Tuesday afternoon someplace else. I think Dunphy's emotional displays are fairly genuine most of the time though. Harris is a feckin plank.

John Waters can be airy fairy alright and Harris is in denial again.

Dunphy was being realistic and he's stirring people up with "excititive terror" ?? Lenin condemned this or something.

It's very anti-Parliamentary Democracy of course, rabble-rousing.

I think RTE does a disservice bringing those three on. They aren't particularly reflective of the mood in the country, none of them are competetent as to the difficulties to give us a proper idea of what is required or how to get out of it.

Then again, I think RTE also does a disservice when they stick an incomprehensible Pete Doherty on at the start of the show as well.
