Still In Exile

Eleutheros the blogger at How Many Miles From Babylon doesn't post often. When he does he almost always knocks me out of the park - and almost always makes me sad because I can't get there from here. But I can see it.

He writes about economics today:

"It takes only the vision to see that tokens are not real in the way, say, blackberry jam is to realize that at some time the world is not going to be willing for us to eat all its food, use all its fuel, take all its manufactured goods, and give nothing in return besides standing beside the pump and insisting someone put a motor on it."

Hello Babylon, I never left.
