http://www.urbansurvival.com/week.htmHere's what I want you to do: Get a small rubber mallet. Place your left hand on the table. Take the hammer in your right hand. Every time you start to start to form the question "Is there a best currency..." I want you to smash your fingers nice and hard. (Use a stunt double, I'm not paying for your medical bills if you're dumb enough to really do this...).
My point is to use pain to waken you to the idea that we are living in a world where the ultimate scam has been pulled by people who combine two diametrically opposed words into a phrase and then drill it into your thinking.
The words are what? "Paper" and "Assets" - it's like 'military intelligence' or 'fighting for peace' - the concepts are contradictory at some basic level that has escaped you.
