    During world war 2 a wealthy English banker said "He who has the money controls the Gov,and I have all the money" or something along those lines.

    AIB are bankers if I'm not mistaken.
    AIB has used money from its staff pension fund to buy a stake in the controversial special purpose vehicle (SPV) set up to own the toxic loans acquired by the National Asset Management Agency (Nama).

    In a regulatory filing, the bank revealed it had raided the staff pension fund for €12 million of the €17 million it was required to contribute in return for a shareholding in the SPV.

    The SPV, known as National Asset Management Agency Investment Limited, was created as part of a complex accounting structure to ensure that Nama’s borrowings, which are expected to top €40 billion, would be kept off the balance sheet of the Irish government and not form part of the national debt.

    The structure provided for a group of private investors to inject €51 million into the SPV and take a 51 per cent stake

    Who exactly are the NAMA SPV investors? What are the financial terms of their investment?
    In short and despite their significance they are anonymous. Their fronts have been identified but the identities of “the beneficial owners” have not been revealed.

    The lack of transparency is quite annoying, but I wouldn't read much into it. I don't particularly care who the 'beneficial owner' of NAMA is considering it's going to be making losses in the billions.

    Yes it is a view with variables, namely pressure and purity.

    The boiling point of water depends on the atmospheric pressure, which changes according to elevation. The boiling point of water is 100°C or 212° F at 1 atmosphere of pressure (sea level), but water boils at a lower temperature as you gain altitude (e.g., on a mountain) and boils at a higher temperature if you increase atmospheric pressure (lived below sea level).
    The boiling point of water also depends on the purity of the water. Water which contains impurities (such as salted water) boils at a higher temperature than pure water.

    Yes, we all learned that in science at Junior Cert level. Thanks for that again though... :)

    Below is a link to a very interesting movie called "Human Resources" that relates the OP of the illusion left/right theme.

    Movie description:
    "Mind blowing documentary about the History of Secret Programs, Medical Research, and Human Experimentation made by corporations and government institutions such as CIA and the military using behaviourism theories, mind control techniques, dumbing down strategies and ideologic propaganda to find ways of controlling people throughout the 20th century"

    Also discusses eugenics, taylorism, industrialisation, consumerism, education etc. Contributers include Noam Chomsky and John Taylor Gatto.
    It's the dogs danglies!
