Dear Jonathan-Saul,

 

Despite your decision to go deafeningly silent once again I assume u r like every one else particularly those on my “sh1t” [sic] and “deafeningly silent” lists following the myriad of chess games underway all geared toward getting the masses both in the 3rd as well as the 1st world not to succumb to the trap by the DAAC, perfected over time, practice makes perfect, the blindsiding by the filthy rich principally focused on the youth who r all our futures to funnel their energies, moving rapidly from subscribing to, “Can’t is not in my vocabulary, the impossible shall be done, miracles take a little longer” to losing their keen sensitivities feeling there is no way out of the abyss as the previous generation continue their mindless assault or is “mindful assault” better phraseology, agree?

 

Earlier I posted my KISS-Keep It Simple but not Stupid response to poster azalphainvestor on Coca Cola’s Yahoo message board who asked a simple question, “So are you engaging an attorney and bringing a class action or not?”

 

I am now about to take a tea break and will later load up the remainder of this communiqué on to this “rand” hyperlink as well as on the KO Yahoo message board.

 

Take care,

 

Gary

The past is a pillar of salt - being rich is ethical

(although I myself; am not rich) ?

 

Lets say the GDP per capita in South Africa is R24 000. It

is roughly that amount; I read different figures from all

over. If I am correct in my thinking, hypothetically, I own

R40 000 in the bank the man next to me now only has R8 000.

Any person who clears about R4 000 a month and save it

after one year can be richer than the average citizen. My

father asked me why am I not studying further towards a

CA(SA)? I answered by saying that the time taken to achieve

such a goal would be a huge opportunity cost for

compounding returns. I need to break the poverty cycle and

every year I will take an extra margin from the guy next to

me. He didn't say anything but knowing my father ? he

thought I was mad. Although simplistic ? I have come to

stage where I am fighting over ethical issues. I can't help

think what a ridiculously small amount R24 000 is. I also

can't help thinking ? the man next to me will do the same.

 

A very good friend of mine once posed an ethical issue to

me, at the age of seventeen, I was completely stumped. I

have posed the same statement to many, many of which cannot

accept it. He said, "The giving of charity is a selfish

affair". I asked him, "why is that? surely giving charity

is giving up something for someone else, how can that be

selfish?". He smiled and replied, "In monetary terms, yes,

people give money to make themselves feel better". Well,

simply giving money where I am loosing compounding returns

for someone who buys sniffing glue is very much against my

thinking. The same applies to giving money to those who

spend excessively to convince other donors. I wrote in my

little thoughts book, "one must embark on complete

capitalism, if one doesn't; all he can do is sit and watch.

Alternatively, one's own greed can better the lives of

those around him. Giving a job is far more satisfactory

than continuously eroding one's own capital."

 

Gary, I really think you mean well. Scientifically

speaking, I cannot explain why the universe has no

beginning or end. I cannot explain why certain art

movements and cultures have similarities before the age of

globalisation aka "Digital Age". G-d / universal thinking

will know best and things will happen naturally. There are

certain areas (regardless of how true or untrue) of this

site which link perceived unethical behaviour to certain

persons? personal life. You clearly have more knowledge or

in contact with these entities. I personally know of a

certain company under the control of Jonathan Beare which

employs thousands. This same company in a few years time

may employ 3 times that amount. Yet you have made some very

personal remarks about him and linking him to unethical

behaviour. I ashamedly, not knowing Jonathan Beare, replied

by speculating his connection to dutch-sandwiches. Anyone

can justify anything by twisting the words. The truth is I

have spoken to one of Jonathan Beare?s CEO, he told me what

a brilliant man Jonathan is and how he makes, although

complicated, very fair deals for all the parties. To any

entities related to Jonathan Beare and Jonathan Beare

himself who are reading this; please forgive me, I think

Jonathan Beare has achieved a lot for himself and for

others.

 

I also feel that guilt shouldn?t draw investors. The Clear

Water Fund is a great idea. In South Africa, water shortage

and global warming is slowly becoming evident. The past is

a pillar of salt and will remedy itself, I ask of you to be

positive and look ahead.

 

Kind Regards

Saul
