Is nothing sacred? :eek2:
It is well that you asked.

 

Know ye not that Value is a function of Supply and Demand?

A Subtance that is in great Demand is perforce of greater Value than one held in less esteem.

A Subtance that is in great Supply is perforce of lesser Value than one that is infrequent in its occurrence or rare in its availability.

 

And Value, itself--is it not an ascending and continuous scale of desireability leading up to and including the celestial rank of "Sacred"?

 

And what of this Nothng you speak of? How common is it in Supply? Does it come by the barrel or by the metric ton? I think not! Indeed, no matter how diligent one seeks out Nothing, one but finds that something is already there!

 

And how sought after in Demand is this Nothing? Look among the rich and powerful--ask them, What do you want? And they will say, Nothing. And even as the middle-class gain more and more, what in the end is it that they still desire? Nothing! So, the Demand is huge and growing ever larger each day.

 

Therefore, this Nothing that you niggle at, is as rare as a virgin in a Paris salon, and yet universally desired by those who already have everything. The Value of Nothing is indeed already beyond compute.

 

We must say, therefore that Nothing is indeed Sacred. :naughty:

 

 

P.S. please, somebody stop me before I post here again. :(

Uh oh, Moses will be along any minute to scold us about our Golden Nothing.

I will stop at nothing to get you to stop posting here, but I'm sure that will go over like a led zeppelin....

 

I should have quit you a long time ago, Ooh-whoa, yeah, yeah, long time ago, :eek2:
