Now he's got a chance to prove how good at marketing he is, by turning this big frown upside down! If he can save his image, people will be knocking his door down to help their own marketing! Surely this minor setback is no big deal to The Paul Christoforo, friend of the Mayor of Boston, Heir to the Holy WWebsite of Betazed!

Comment Re:Economy is a religion, not a science (Score 0) 676

I think the Foundation series by Asimov is pretty pertinent here (in which science is a religion and technology is sacred and powered by a holy spirit, maintained by scientifically impotent people following ritual) - when the average person does not understand the mechanism behind the operations, it achieves quasi-mystical status. "Economics" encompasses a set of rituals wherein if you perform the appropriate sacrifice/tribute/investment/tithe, you will be blessed with eternal prosperity. When this fails to happen people blame the god, in this case, the god of the economy. External loci of control ftw.
