XLV.

Two percent mortgages and 0.9 % car loans are hardly usura, but then again, things are still seriously screwed up in the world.  Being very short-sighted, I know…..

It would belittle Pound to say he was less controversial than Ulmanis. The difference being that a nation’s fate wasn’t resting in his hands.
Some powerful words though.

Sveiks, Kārli, et al.,

With XLV, they left off the note (wch I cd swear was in that recording!): ‘N.B. Usury: A charge for the use of purchasing power, levied without regard to production; often without regard to the possibilities of production. (Hence the failure of the Medici bank).’

PC,
So you’ve dragged your knuckles down from the Kurzeme kastanis koks and just thought you’d promote a non-Latvia anti-Semite rather than revile some poor schmuck Latvian you’ve assumed by “that look” (along with your friend, as you shared in that old post with the two of you seeing crazed killers in your Latvians) to be an anti-Semite.  I would suggest you change that gailenes mushroom diet and include some Kurzeme Deutsch development - or is it Deutsch deformation - protein-rich sauerbraten - mit spatzle und spargel.

Oh dear Ambersun has a certain Mr Cedrins upset you ?

Sveiks there, Karlis,
You missed the sardonic grin.
PC does not upset anyone with a sense of irony and humor.

“PC does not upset anyone with a sense of irony and humor.”

Quite true, ambersun.  And it certainly explains why he upsets you so much…..

Keep up the good work.
