Digg, Maybe You'll Learn Something...
From time to time, I visit Digg.com to see what people (at least a small group of people) think is interesting. Usually, this is exclusively for entertainment value. But, from time to time, there is something that is actually interesting and/or important.
* U.S. Dollar is worth less than a Canadian Dollar!!! This one freaks me out! I should have been investing in something, because holding U.S. currency seems to be a very, very bad idea. Why did this happen? Will it continue? What should I buy instead? Is currency in other countries, like Euros or British Pounds, worth buying? I wonder what gold is doing? I saw a sign today near a jewelry shop that said "will buy junk gold"!!! What's that all about?

* Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich eliminated from online polling! You know, I really like Dennis. Great values. Really my kinda guy. And Ron Paul, he seems pretty okay. Once you know he is a Libratarian, it all makes sense. Eliminate them from the polls? Something is definitely wrong with our system...
* Greenspan believe that most recent U.S. invasion of Iraq was mainly about Oil. Well, that doesn't surprise us, does it. It is nice that Greenspan is willing to share this. Now, if he would explain money, oil, and how they are connected, perhaps a few more people would get a clue about what is going on right now.

* Quotes help us remember what is going on, and that people have seen (much of) it before.

Just goes to show how little news comes in to my head on its own... no radio, no tv, no newspaper, no magazines... I guess that is good and bad at the same time. Maybe I'll have a little time to catch up in the next few months... I just hope I can figure things out before the EOSAWKI.
