Myth

There is no way in hell that "The Water Horse" is a cute movie

I am sorry, there is no way in hell that a slimy reptilian like monster is in any way, shape or form, cute and cuddly like dog or a horse.

I can smell the slime on the Loch Ness monster in that poster from here. I can even feel the scaly skin on the creature and all I want to say is, "Eww."

Yet what I don't understand is how any child may want to have a monster lurking in their backyard pond. I still have the imagination of a kid and some think I am quite immature. I can't imagine a time in my life when I wanted to have the Loch Ness monster as a pet.

I mean, seriously.

Words to live by Q: Could we review some of the concepts that you've introduced into economics and see if you think they still have relevance? For example, the concept of "countervailing power." Galbraith: Over the years--over the century just passed--one of the important counters to monopoly power in the corporate world was the development of countervailing power, certainly by trade unions, certainly by farmer cooperatives, certainly by other corporations. Power begets power, and I still hold very strongly to that view, which I first published, believe it or not, some fifty years ago. — John Kenneth Galbraith Interview \| The Progressive culturekitchen Media Manhattan Fundraiser for Jimmy Dahroug for State Senate Get On The Bike, Part Two Pimping for Ratner? 2008: Challenging the Establishment in NYC Can I buy you a drink congressman?
