[arin-ppml] Policy Proposal 2008-6

[Kyle Banks]

Nice Presentation Randy... I think the liquidity graph hit it right on the
head... without problems, or turmoil there is no space for profit... take
the Gas prices for example, we have several problems in a row I.E. Fires at
factories, Spills, and the war in Iraq, and the Oil industry is the field
that gets all the attention, first trickling down to the airlines, then to
the auto industry which is now in jeopardy while the Oil industry has now
calmed down with the lack of problems...

 As far as the black market goes, we have all seen, or possibly been a part
of the "black market"... the simple definition of the "black market" is to
acquire goods or services without traveling through the proper channels,
I.E. taking the easier, less-expensive, or possibly illegal road... piracy
of software, videos, or audio clips; along with completing a job while
working "under the table" I.E. not reporting your income to the IRS is now
seen as the most common activities within the "black market"... Now don't
get me wrong, Yes, there are some people out there who would and do utilize
the "black market" to acquire illegal drugs, guns, weapons, and even
children and organs... I'm just simply pointing out that it isn't as intense
as it may appear to be on television...

Just my .02
