[samran]

Thaksin should not apologise to people who stole his position

what position was that? Caretaker prime minister who refused to call an election as he was supposed to?

Thaksin needs enlightenment: Abhisit

Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva said Sunday that former premier Thaksin Shinawatra needed to be enlightened to be happy.

During his weekly TV programme, the host asked him to comment on the big celebrations of Thaksin's birthday in several provinces.

"He may like other people who would like to be happy. If I can send message to him directly, I would like to say 'if you are enlightened and understand dharma, you will be much happier,'" the prime minister said.

And when Abhisit is enlightened and understands Pinnochio and free and fair elections we will all be much happier.

We find Marxism, Thatcherism even Reaganomics, Nash and Keynes of course

but not a word on they august field of study "Thaksinomics".

Many people have made a name fro them selves with economic ideas,

Thaksinomlics seems to not get in the big list or small, except locally...

Did he happen to ENDOW the chair in Thaksinomics... Me thinks yes..

Maybe Thaksin is trying to win a Nash Equilibrium?

Named after mathematician JOHN NASH, and central to game theory,

Nash equilibrium refers to a situation in which individuals participating in a game

pursue the best possible strategy while possessing the knowledge of the strategies of other players.

It works on the premise that the player cannot improve his/her position given the other players' strategy.

Nash equilibrium is sometimes referred to as

the non-co-operative equilibrium because

each player chooses his/her own strategy

believing it is the best one possible, without collusion,

and without thinking about the interests of either his opponent

or the society in which he/she lives.

Thank you so much for reminding me of the nightmare which was my undergraduate and graduate programmes.

ROTFLOL...

sorry for the stagger down memory lane.

Don't worry the pain will fade in time.

Reminds me of the classic joke.

If you want 100 opinions and 300 arguments,

put 100 economists in one room.

if you only want 50 arguments, put 50 economists

and 50 of their grad students in the same room.

Then they play tag team.

Keynes distinguished three motives for holding money:

the transaction motive (to meet day-to-day needs);

the speculative motive (in anticipation of a fall in the price of assets);

the precautionary motive (to meet unexpected future outlays).

But this doesn't come to grips with the Thaksin Hubris Motive.

It doesn't allow for obsessive avarice, and hubris to win

sans reference to cost or remorse vis avis the smaller players,

in relation to the Asian equation of 'money equals power equals face',

and how THIS dynamic can skew market theory.

There just might be a doctoral thesis hidden in the last paragraph.

Seems like the return from the banned is attempting to turn logic ion it's head as usual.

Being a musican, among other things,

does not disqualify someone from thinking nor common sense.

Everyone knows what they think know,

but just because you say they agree with you,

doesn't make it so.

If I cause some un-biased minds to take a turn at thinking through the issues

and not accept blanket pronouncements of spurious PR statements then I fell fine.

It is giving an observation from another view point, without it being shut down or shouted down,

something not typical in a mind-controlled East German or Hungarian pseudo-proletarian regime.

Roots of youth run deep and color perceptions in some cases.

It isn't a falling back to those days of yore here,

but a new paradigm which you seem not to grasp fully.

And your lame attempt to instill FEAR in me bodes for nothing.

I feel fine.

Surely Maew was being sarcastic. He likes nothing better than being at the centre of the spotlight, obviously.

[stumonster]

did he apoligise for the business debacle that is the Thailand Elite Card ?

is the Thailand Elite card representative of the thaksinomics strategy to bring the Thailand economy from its slump ?

he is a fool.

Doesn't it remind you of your days in kindergarten aged about 3 , pick me me me me me me me me me me me please pick me me me, sob sob, mummy mummy no one likes me, I don't want to go to school tomorrow

You are absolutely correct Artisi, that is the problem of all the anti-democratic forces, Abhist and friends and the musicians on this board. If there is ever another election, this is exactly what would happen. Thaksin would be "picked" by the astute Thai electorate.

The only problem being that Thasksin will never be in the position to be picked - and thank your lucky stars for that.

Again, you are absolutely correct Artisi. Electoral Democracy will be eliminated and as many on this board have speculated, there will never be another election preventing the astute Thai electorate from exercising their Democratic rights. The appointive process will ensure that the perp's of the military coup and judicial coup as the pro-democracy Red Shirts have characterized it, will appoint their own kind. And all the Democracy loving musicians on this board will applaud....unbelievable!

Cant see this happening in reality. Think it more likely that at some stage an agreement will be reached between the players in the game and then an election held after which it wont matter who wins to the players.

Can't see that happening either.

If it was all just about power sharing between the players, they would have settled it long time ago.

Now people are involved, too.
