By the way, my comments are based on additional, extensive conversations with both of the people I referenced in my original post. One was a senior associate, and is now a partner (non-equity) at a major law firm (more than 550 attorneys; he works out of their Miami office). He has a huge...

It tastes like wet socks.

Much more downside to come. Americans are still in denial, and think we'll have a typical recovery, and that they just need to 'hang in there.' The sad reality is Japan 2.0 HAS visited us, and the sequel is going to be far worse than the original flick, given the insane levels of leverage and...

or :cool:

Iodine is typically undesirably low (about 50mcg per day compared to a recommended level of about 150mcg) in vegan diets unless supplements, iodine-rich seaweeds or foods containing such seaweeds are consumed. The low iodine levels in many plant foods reflect the low iodine levels in the soil...

I agree that certain environmental organizations manipulate data, and others are outright radical in their proposed solutions to what is a VERY REAL problem. Should anyone let that (irrelevant) fact delay the crafting of a real and effective solution to address crashing stocks of some of the...

Epic post! Should be a sticky for Republicans Anonymous!!! I didn't leave the GOP; the GOP, pushed off the cliff of absurdity by loud yet intellectually tepid populists (think Gingrich, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter), left me!

That's a great chart. I am surprised and disturbed that the U.S.'s perceived risk of default as measured by CDS rates is as high as it is.

Wait, this can't be. Angrycat swears most people on Wall Street are highly competent and worth every dollar they make, including non-performance related bonuses, and the incompetent ones are the minority. 80% is a majority, and given that they didn't know what the term 'hedged' properly...

It's happening right now. There is very strong empirical data that fish populations have been now decimated so badly that it will be hard to intervene and alter the decline in many of the most popular (and necessary) species. Blue fin tuna is nearly extinct. Cod is decimated. Salmon are in...

Gorillas are definitely omnivores. I won't debate this fact with you, because facts are not ripe for debate. Believe what you will, but at least do some basic research from a credible source. Gorillas eat meat, not because they can, but because they have evolved to do so. If this wasn't the...

I can decimate the credibility of this entire post with one word: Gorillas. http://www.vrg.org/nutshell/omni.htm http://www.westonaprice.org/traditional_diets/gorilla.html

I never tried any of the above, but wouldn't be opposed to it, except the muskrat. I also believe in the sanctity of treating animals respectfully, which is similar in approach to how Native Americans viewed the Bison that they depended on for survival. There is no need to prolong animal...

I may be a prick at times, and I'm sure I'm wrong more than I realize, but I don't think I'm ignorant, and I know that I'm not unwilling to be honest with myself or others - - and that last attribute includes possessing the ability to change my opinion as events unfold and more facts reveal...

Global Worries Over U.S. Stimulus Spending http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/business/worldbusiness/30davos.html By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ Published: January 29, 2009 DAVOS, Switzerland — Even as Congress looks for ways to expand President Obama’s $819 billion stimulus package, the...

Humans are omnivores by design. If you compare and contrast our GI tracts with herbivores, carnivores and omnivores in nature, we exactly match the attributes of omnivores. That's just one of the myriad of reasons why it's naive to think vegetarianism is an optimal strategy to obtain the...

If you believe we will ultimately get hammered by a surge of inflation at some point within the next 3-5 years (it doesn't matter precisely when, just that you believe that we will), what's your 'ace in the hole' investment 'big move' in preparation for, or to hedge against, such an event...
