the greatest amount of return
for the least amount of effort

to create an economy and mysticism
in the pursuit of happiness ...

in the creation of a rule or mandate
based in competing values

and what has more value
becomes expensive

and what there is alot of
becomes de-valued

creating a scarcity
and a metaphysics of capital

money is power and power is not for the weak.

altho the weak need all the power they can get

obtaining power requires more power than the weak have.

to gain power the weak gather to overthrow power

to disseminate power amongst the weak.

when power is spread too thinly it loses it's power

thus leaving the weak powerless and subject to power.

power like product
is a thing 'of possession'
as you say

and power like product
has value

if we 'secure' it as so

if there is alot of power
or too much

then power becomes de-valued
as in totalitarianism

as for overthrowing or ousting
not unlike product

we no longer subscribe or purchase
the product

we de-value the product
or power

is this what you are saying?

what's that other quote?

something about good government
is that which governs least?

not unlike product
that which there is less of
has greater value

not unlike product
that which there is less of
has greater value

not necessarily... product has to have demand
the greater the demand the greater the value
power creates the product
product fulfills a need (hopefully for the producer)
demand increases as need/want increases
value increases in accordance with demand

this cycle has it's weaknesses as seen in the mortgage failures
the demand for property increased causing a rise in prices
when availability for $$$ became cheaper, the demand for
properties increased until that $$$ dried up... not the demand
for the property but the demand for the money to purchase property.

the adage you sited I think is supported by those with a dislike/distrust for government... especially their own.
true, too much govt can become tyrannical, but conversely
too much privatization has the same effect - those that
control the corporations can become tyrannical in their own right -
cutting back on employees to save money to support corporate value, i.e. the stock market... the greater the profit margin, the more powerful the corporation

but when either of scenarios occur (large govt/large corporations)
that is the power i intended to get across on the original post...
power eventually maintains too much power leaving greater numbers doing without which will lead to revolt where power becomes more equitable for all, but the end result is power loses more of it's strength being shared with more and more... thinning power to many versus having the same amount of power in control of few - the 1% of America being a prime example, which own 34+% of the Nation's wealth (10% of American families own over 71% of the wealth).
