Do you notice how everything in life revolves around a piece of paper that has no value what so ever except as toilet paper? It seems odd to me that we can go and buy things like a car with paper that "repersents" gold... which has worth.... Why does gold have so much worth? Why not something that people actually use and value like trees or air? I know you can't exchange air for something because it's everywhere but still.... Any way, my deep philosophical question isn't so deep or philosophical...
