    But as corporations were taken over by a caste who never made a product or provided a service, it is only natural that goods and services dropped in priority, while parasitical aspects of business gained importance, like developing innovative ways to hedge and leverage instruments to squeeze a little more profit out of transactions in commoditized debt. Think of it this way. When vampires are in charge, they will emphasize blood. Even if they are smart vampires who claim to have the health of the cows at heart (so to speak), their goal will be to maximize the flow of blood. Now, blood is important. Like money, it enables the body to live and take nourishment to all its cells. Money and blood matter… but their purpose, in the long run, is to help the body stay alive — or to help the company to make competitive goods and services. When the vampire tunes the cow’s body to deliver JUST the right amount of blood to keep it alive, under ideal circumstance, and no more, guess what happens when the slightest thing goes wrong?

    Check out Missy Higgins, digging deep on a couple of songs from her latest album. I got to see her play when Julie opened for her in Milwaukee this summer. Was a great night at Turner Hall, which has been booking an excellent lineup this year.

    those eyes
    that smile that shines
    her beautiful, mixed up mind
    was all once, briefly, mine
