Time is money and timeless money.

By the time this is posted, the USA debt will be approaching 12 trillion dollars. (http://www.usdebtclock.org/) Let's spell that out. $12,000,000,000,000. Man, that's a lot of zeros. Let's put this number in context. If you were to count from 1 to 12,000,000,000 at 1 count per second, it would take 380,508 years. Counting backwards in years, that's about 100,000 years before the first man ever walked (or stooped) our planet.
