I’ve heard that it is possible to do by means of balance transfer credit cards with 0% intro APR. You move your current balance onto a new card and save on interest. The most important thing is not to make debt on the new card. For balance transfer credit cards you can go to <a href="http://balance-tranfers.cn/discover-transfer-consumer-balance.html" rel="nofollow">discover balance transfer credit consumer</a> Is it possible to save on credit cards at the same time spending as much as you are accustomed to?

For such occasions banks offer credit cards which differ in purpose and features like interest rates, rewards, fees.

]]> Comment on The Dangers of National Mythology by Michael http://dustbinofhistory.wordpress.com/2007/04/19/the-dangers-of-national-mythology/#comment-1186 Michael Mon, 26 Nov 2007 00:42:07 +0000 http://dustbinofhistory.wordpress.com/2007/04/19/the-dangers-of-national-mythology/#comment-1186 You are correct. The myth of the independent citizen armed against a foreign, or domestic (in the form of a tyrannical government) is overwhelming in this debate. The problem is that the Constitution is a legal document, the supreme law of the land, where the Declaration of Independence is merely a historical document. Other issues which are not mentioned in the Second Amendment, such as owning a firearms for self-defence, come into play. The problem is that one cannot arbitrarily add things to legislation (which the Second Amendment is) that are not mentioned. The real issue is the power of the federal goverment with its power <i>To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the militia</i> while having also maintaining a federal standing army.

In the post to which you link - the second in the series [I'm still working on the last one. I hate blogger's block], I do point out that knowing specific things - such as who signed the American Constitution - depend on knowledge gained through education, but life experience is necessary to temper opinions with practicality. With age you gain a wider understanding of more things, rather than a specific bit. THIS is why age should temper the importance of given to opinions - but only to a certain extent.

For example (from a comment I made): Can many 22 (or 18) year olds comment meaningfully on the situation of men trained in a manual craft who ended up unemployed at 43 and have been rejected for more than 1500 job applications over 10 years? Can many 22 year olds comment meaningfully on the experience or practice, or that of conscription for national service? And what about (to take a ubiquitous example where British culture is in denial imho) whether there are benefits to laying out dead relatives for the neighbours to come and say good-bye? I went to visit my gran’s body and it was one of the best things I ever did. No one else from the family went. In Kilburn 50 years ago many people would have come. What are the pros and cons? How old do you have to be to say? I’d suggest that “going round the block a few times” alerts us - perhaps above everything - to our own unimportance; and that in turn alerts us to sme of the things that actually matter. And we think those things are different every decade. btw I am 41 going on 16 or 76 depending who you ask. I think that some skills/insights cannot come from knowledge, but only from time.
