The Corny Solution

Well but why not? It's what people are attracted to.

So what's the corny solution to the Muslim problem? I don't personally know...

What's the corny solution to the amazing strength in Equities? Don't know that either.

Ogilvy's motif, not Burnett's

What about interest rates? Nope.

I don't keep a 'corn file.'

On the mass public level you simply cannot expect there to be any change at all either in government policy on Islamic terrorism, nor on interest rate policy. It is possible, as the economist Professor Steve Keen recently suggested, that Central Banks might force the increase of margins for derivatives, but to some extent I find this not corny enough to be what they would automatically go for...

Politicians - most of them - will never accept responsibility for the bad things that go on on the mass scale beneath their high ivory towers. They will continue this parade of bathos - a thing that Americans love, apparently, as the world turns into another episode of Serial Killer Sunday.

We will 'condemn and be appalled,' and 'send our condolences.' And do nothing.

Now look I just deleted a whole series of paragraphs (in this piece) going into detail about certain things that I realize I cannot talk about here...

This much I may suggest to you if you ever find yourself in a 'situation.' Turn in the opposite direction in which a panicked corny crowd of onlookers or the mass of the public is heading in any circumstance in which fear, confusion, rage or excitement possesses them.

In my next piece, I will be talking about a movie that 'just' barely made budget on its first release: 'Half Moon Street.' I will be referring to it at least, in small part. The first ten minutes of this movie is worth watching for relevance to today's world. And we can thank Louis Theroux's dad for it. Without him, the flick would never have gotten made. Paul Theroux, as you know, is French.
