  1. The government is the principal and the chartered banks are only its agents and the incentives of agents don't coincide with the ones of the principal.
  2. "vanity of vanities; all is vanity."
  3. "Scoreboard" is a somewhat creative analogy borrowed from the sport culture.

  16. The older and lonelier are the strangers that come to us, the more they are helping us to live old and healthy by providing a meaning to our lives.
  17. Existence means standing (-stance) outside (ex-) itself. Before culture (symbols), nature was strictly in itself, it did not ex-ist.
  18. The farther a country is from deliberative democracy (say North Korea), the hungrier its population.
  19. Immigrants are only not slavish enough for Anti-immigrants.
  20. It's pure cynicism and sarcasm rather.
