FROM FREE MARKETS TO FREEWAY ROBBERY

I have been asked whay i don't use any references in my writings, I am not an economist, not part of banking and finance system, don't have a PHD, and not part of any think tank, so what makes me an expert in anything. But see i do study stuff, and read and more than anything I think, and see relations in the universe around me. One thing I can not offer you is a bibliography just to prove I learnt stuff from others, and can not think on my own.

Even as an atheist, I am given to thinking about the possibility of there being a God, and what if there is a God what IS He or She like, and I do try to prove its non-exixstance and i may just end up proving it's existance , I have no problem with that either.

So it was that on a very long flight, and listening to ABBA, " what's name of the game" i started wondering about God, and what if I were to ask God the same question, and I did, I am still waiting for His answer.

And far as a bibliography is concerned, look at the song below and our economic mess, could this song has been a prophecy?

STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN

Theres a lady whos sure
All that glitters is gold
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.

When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.

Ooh, ooh, and shes buying a stairway to heaven.

Theres a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.

In a tree by the brook
Theres a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.

Theres a feeling I get
When I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.

In my thoughts I have seen
Rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.

Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And its whispered that soon
If we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.

And a new day will dawn
For those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.

If theres a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now,
Its just a spring clean for the may queen.

Yes, there are two paths you can go by
But in the long run
Theres still time to change the road youre on.

And it makes me wonder.

Your head is humming and it wont go
In case you dont know,
The pipers calling you to join him,

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow,
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How evrything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
And shes buying a stairway to heaven.
