I realized too late that too many hours spent at the computer was ruining my eyesight. Our eyes have naturally evolved (creationsists please forgive me) to focus at a distance. They are only meant to focus up close for short term tasks. If you look around the world, you can see proof of that...

Without knowing what the actual statistics, I would guess that the main causes for high medical costs in declining order are: High medical malpractice insurance rates High rate of obesity High utilization of specialists rather than general practitioners Inefficiency of dealing with many...

I think you should fear more that the United States goes "full on commie" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GncP8Jmbku4

Is the country going to fall apart without iphones? Are we going to starve or freeze to death without them?

In the attached chart you can see a direct correlation between IQ and GDP per capita. The chart comes from a Wikipedia page about the book: "IQ and the Wealth of Nations": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:IQatWoN_GDP_IQ.png The average IQ in the United States is at least 10 points lower...

The optimum tax rate for income would be 0 for everyone. Why would you want to discourage people from earning money or investing? There should only be a tax on consumption. The wealth of a country can never grow in a country if everyone consumes too much. That's why the Western World is...

OK, let's assume your modern economic theory is correct. The Americans are running the largest deficit ever, that should result in a large increase in their economy. When do you expect that to occur?

If a deficit is good for a country's economy, then by that logic, all the countries with the largest deficits should have the strongest economies. China, which is always running a surplus should be failing miserably. The Chinese must not understand modern economic theory, the Canadians too...

Saddam Hussein wanted to sell his oil in Euros instead of American dollars. Soon after that Iraq was invaded. Gaddafi wanted to create a gold backed Dinar shared by several north African countries and then sell his oil with that currency. A gold backed Dinar would be a true threat to a fiat...

I received the following reply from my hedge fund manager when I asked about the delay for redeeming my funds: "It has taken far longer than expected to liquidate this fund. By nature of our mandate, we own long term physical commodities with expiration dates far in the future. With the...

If the Chinese are taking all the manufacturing jobs with an undervalued currency, stop complaining about it and take advantage of it instead. Buy all the shares of China's companies that you can instead of all the their cheap consumer goods that you don't need. Eventually the value of China's...

Why waste time questioning the cost of air conditioning. Doesn't it make more sense to question the purpose of the wars? It doesn't matter who wins the war or whatever purpose the war is trying to achieve if the end result is the bankruptcy of the United States.

I'm Canadian and I'd beg to differ. I spent all of last winter walking on crutches waiting to see an orthopedic surgeon for a metal hip resurfacing. I got frustrated waiting, I read in China, they can cure my hip condition with herbs. I found those herbs, cured myself with them and now I can...

"The average price of a hot dog cart ranges between $2,000 and $5,000" "Many hot dog carts pull in $200 to $300 a day in cash." X 20 = $6000 a month http://www.ehow.com/how_4963971_buy-hotdog-cart.html

I'll just get my news for free from ET.....maybe a good part of what's written here isn't true, but then how much of what you read in the newspaper is actually true.

This is another example of excessive spending against the trumped up threat of terrorism. The thing that is far more likely to destroy the American empire is currency collapse. Stupid spending by the government like this is only going to increase the likelihood of a currency collapse happening.
