Fuzz' current number one [or number five] blogger, Miss Bella [depending on how you count], with insatiable and irrepressible curiousity, asked me the other day "Why are you The Capital Clinic?!!!"

This is a fair question to which I responded as follows [by the way, I prefer the words of my moniker to run together as thecapitalclinic for better tagging and identification and to facilitate online word searches at Fuzz and elsewhere - not a bad idea for Fuzz newbies who wish to have a good personal search, retrieve, and indexing function since all CONTENT development, on-line or otherwise, is an exercise in DATA MANAGEMENT, a subject to which I will return on another occasion:

"I established the capital clinic because I think that the formation of both "private capital" [that is, the way money is made and allocated in society] and "social capital" [that is, the way values are communicated and shared] is now dysfunctional and needs to be fixed. The clinic is here because things, they need a fixin', lest we descend into chaos.

I have recently parked thecapitalclinic on the Fuzz platform as a free and open clinic because I believe that where music exists, as a universal cultural phenomenon [sustained by the energy of empassioned artists and their fans] is a good place to start the revolution to effect change in the vested economic and social order. Music touches people's lives, both mind and spirit.

I embrace the Fuzz Manifesto. The people that drafted it are exceptional. Or, in your terms, these guys [gals] are HOT!

I have a feeling that open-minded persons who have also discovered Fuzz, like your goodself, who love music and the sense of shared community that music creates will "get it" and lead the way to a better economic and social order.

If you listen carefully to what is being said [or not said - which is equally revealing] by most of the artists in their songs and blogs here, you can sense the possiblities for good. Nuff said [for now]."

Your words speak the truth, my friend... and the feeling is mutual -- I'm happy that you're here on Fuzz.

I'll hop on the wagon too... amen. Saw Miss Bella today at HQ. She said she's looking forward to your response.

I thought that I already did respond, which was what prompted the posting in the first place. Tell Miss B. , now I'm puzzled [fuzzled].

in a some way, we're all on third base waiting to be waved home....that's FUZZ...it's called hope, that's the make-up our souls and humanity.

some poor souls never get to first or stuck forever on second while they sharpen their spikes! and ruin it for those trying to get home.

Free Speech = Equality = Democracy!!!

Long Live TCC and Fuzz!!!

It's the platform of Fuzz that unifies those who care not just about the current state of the music industry, but the world with which we all live in!!! A system of tolerance, diversity and creation without prejudice and influence!

"A system of tolerance, diversity and creation without prejudice and influence". Yes , my friend, that about covers the social capital part of the life work of thecapitalclinic.

As for the private capital part, when people in the business of managing other peoples' money start really believing that they deserve "every penny" of the billions of dollars that they "intermediated and arbitraged" over just a few years based on inordinate leverage of OPM {other peoples' money] that is disproportionate to the amount of their own "skin" [i.e. truly personal risk money] that they have in the game, and the system supports this kind of skewed risk and reward, something's broken.

TCC believes the current system of formation of private capital needs to be disaggregated and fixed, lest we revert to an environment of open class warfare.
