He just got caught up in it.Happyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13097099721822299516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485891673062174264.post-72738399847367736572008-03-11T10:38:00.000-04:002008-03-11T10:38:00.000-04:00$400 vs $4000?

I've forgotten what it is but for now I'll call it the principle of chump-change negligibility indifference, CCNI. Anyone of any net worth is indifferent to transactions of some (relatively) minor value. A penny, e.g. Or a dollar. Ten dollars, etc.<br><br>If you're net worth is a million dollars, forty dollars may not be a big deal. Scaling up, if you're worth a hundred million dollars, four thousand dollars may be pretty expendable. No one, not even a billionaire, need maintain that the $4000 purchase is a hundred times better than the $40. It's enough that he think it better and that $4000 for him is chump change.<br><br>As for Eliot Spitzer, I want to know why anyone was wiretapping him and why, having heard about the prostitution ring, they thought it an appropriate item to pursue. Are these my Homeland Security Tax Dollars being dicked away!?Timnoreply@blogger.com
