Tough shit. Cut the banker out, cut the civil

the pie. But what did you need a new car
for anyway? Maintain the old one properly,
buy the new when you can afford it and you
WILL cut the banker out.

So now ask yourself, WHY do you need a loan for a new car? Do you NEED
a new car or simply WANT one? And why is everyone so set on paying
double for a new car? (cost of car plus interest). That would be
because someone TOLD you that you should. So instead of just waiting
until you have the money to buy this or that, you borrow the money to
buy it and then pay some huge interest because someone on TV told you
that you can borrow against your future. And of course they tell you
this because THEY are the ones who get that extra money that things
cost.

So they sell you and you buy it. You have to promise your future so
you can buy some huge SUV with all the off-road features and low
mileage for that "extreme" "off-road" trip to work each day!

If you wonder why you work more and have less, it>s that banker on
your back you are carrying around.

There is only ONE valid reason for loans. That would be to get the
capital to purchase "something" that will eventually pay back the
money you borrowed plus (hopefully) a reasonable profit. If your car
is not going to be used to earn back the money you borrowed to buy it,
then you should have never had that loan! Think about it.

Somehow we have to get this back to physics.

Cars are 2-20,000 pounds of personal jewelry. Some folks live far
from "distribution centers" and horses or bicycles or walking simply
take too long. A new car is less problematic than a used one, and
spare parts are easier to get. Additionally, they help support the

the rest are “ Muffled ”, so I only see their 3 most recent posts.

However, I read All replies to me, no matter who,
and I Always see the “ Heritage ”, e.g. the parent post; like this:

However your notion has been explained by classical
physics, of thought simply being a concatenation of

OTOH, if your initial thought had *evolved* into a[/quote]
different direction then you are hinting at the core
of the issue, and you may ask:
---------------------------
What "Aethereal thing" is it that
has "Space" has evolved from?
What "Aethereal thing" is it that
that "Space" has exploited?
---------------------------
=1= If matter, energy and force-fields are supposed
to bend space, then what is this bent or curled space
is embedded in?
IOW what is the underlying medium or matrix that
gives that 3D space these alleged properties?...

=2= If the space of the universe expands, then what[/quote]
does it expand into?... IOW,
what is this 2nd order emptiness, this void underneath?
or
=3= if the universe is expanding into a larger space
then where does this new "more space" come from?...

Whether you wanna call it Aether or something else is[/quote]
immaterial... ahahahahaha... ... ahahaha... ahahanson
