Favorite quotes:
Everything that happens in the social world in our time is the result of ideas. Good things and bad things. What is needed is to fight bad ideas. We must fight all that we dislike in public life. We must substitute better ideas for wrong ideas. We must refute the doctrines that promote union violence. We must oppose the confiscation of property, the control of prices, inflation, and all those evils from which we suffer.-Ludwig von Mises
Society lives and acts only in individuals; it is nothing more than a certain attitude on their part. Everyone carries a part of society on his shoulders; no one is relieved of his share of responsibility by others. And no one can find a safe way out for himself if society is sweeping towards destruction. Therefore everyone, in his own interests, must thrust himself vigorously into the intellectual battle. None can stand aside with unconcern; the interests of everyone hang on the result. Whether he chooses or not, every man is drawn into the great historical struggle, the decisive battle into which our epoch has plunged us. Ludwig von Mises
It is no crime to be ignorant of economics, which is, after all, a specialized discipline and one that most people consider to be a "dismal science." But it is totally irresponsible to have a loud and vociferous opinion on economic subjects while remaining in this state of ignorance.
The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design Friedrich von Hayek
When goods don't cross borders, armies will- Frederic Bastiat
If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. If you teach a man how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.- Confucius
First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win- Mahatma Gandhi

nice interactive chart. why don't you embed it so that it's live on your blog. just click "get&share" and follow the guidelines, then it will embed inside you blog
good luck

Hi Roger,
thanks for your suggestion. my basic concern is one of security using the get&share, hence opted to simply redirect it to their website.
regards,
benson
you are probably right to be cautious! the link to youcalc is however wrong, it should be www.youcalc.com (not clearspring.com). clearspring seems to be some distributor they are using.
thanks anyway for some interesting thoughts.
