Seed money is money that is used for the opening for a new business to pay for such preliminary stages as market research and product development. Potential business owners may use savings, remortgage, or raise funds from family and friends. A more business oriented option is to seek out angel investors, venture capitalists or accredited investors who may have an interest in the business and would be willing to invest in it. Seed capital does not need to be a large amount of money. Many people start up new business ventures with $10,000 or less. Seed money is not venture capital.
Seed money can can also come from financial bootstrapping. Bootstrapping in this context means making use of the cash flow of an existing enterprise. If an entrepreneur focuses on selling products and ensuring early payment, this is the most obvious way of generating seed money. However, as well as raising the bridge, an entrepreneur can lower the water. Other means of garnering or conserving seed money include purchasing second-hand equipment rather than new or leasing rather than buying; paying sales people or agents on commission rather than having people on the payroll.
Frequently an aspiring entrepreneur may think that he or she must spend all their early energy on raising finance, but often too much money is more disabling than too little. If cash is tight, the startup will be concentrated on essentials. Even after revenue is being earned, cash flow management will be the most significant determinant of early survival. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_money
Seed Money
The first round of capital for a start-up business. Seed money usually takes the structure of a loan or an investment in preferred stock or convertible bonds, although sometimes it is common stock. Seed money provides startup companies with the capital required for their initial development and growth. Angel investors and early-stage venture capital funds often provide seed money. http://vcexperts.com/vce/library/en...glossary_id=109
Simple definition:
To start your business up with no cash you borrow from someone else who'd you pay back eventually.
You can't have seed money years later after your successful but you can take out a mortgage or other loans later.
Where else can one back scratches another's back by lending cash to an upstart.

The liberal media would surely give this more light if they thought it was credible. You would think we lose 3000 troops a day if you listen to them. The scientific community does not back the conspiracy theorists.
I'll be looking into the "terror drills" and other subjects...I'm sure there will be evidence to debunk those as well.

LOL @ liberal media. When someone says that phrase I automatically know they have no idea how anything works.

There is nothing to debunk that, other than saying that it was a coincidence that the government agencies were doing terrorist drills at the same time. The odds of that happening at the same time at the same place are so small, you'll have a higher chance of winning a lottery.

That much is true. Peter Power admits then kind of, sort of retracts his statement about 7/7 even though there were drills prior.

Your brain is ripe for washing.
This is usually when your mind can't focus on a set of instructions and you know what's right and what's wrong. The moral and intelligent dilemma is where new thoughts are set in.
Be careful what you think for it's not what you want to know. Not what is right but what's accepted. There is a difference.

It means something to them. It might as well mean something to you.

Man, we've already gone in circles countless number of times. Do you really anything would change (for any of us) if we did it once again?

haha, perhaps not. but if you did peruse the very short and easily understood paper, then you could say "the physics professor agrees with me" and i could say "the demolition experts agree with me" and then we could both agree to disagree
