    The Libertarian Party

    I think that the freedoms they want, by definition in their parties platform, would be those freedoms that wouldn't impinge on the freedoms of others.

    The Libertarian Party

    I was wondering when a subject like this would come up here. I'm sort of surprised it took this long. I tend to believe that there are significantly more benefits associated with smaller, less involved governments. I think that attempts to protect people from their own poor decisions with...

    Why does Milton Friedman prefers Fiat currency instead of Gold standard?

    From what I read, it looks like he supports a fiat currency because his studies have led him to beileve that the management of gold reserves through interest rate changes are often the opposite of what they would be if only the optimal monetary supply for the countries economy was taken into...

    Bush/Cheney Impeachment – The process is underway.

    I think the most amazing thing is that no moderator has set up a macro to auto forward all of South America's posts to the Chit Chat section.

    Do you think America is headed for a 2nd American Civil WAR?

    I typically stay out of these obvious flame wars, but it is shocking to see someone so strikingly disconnected from any semblance of reality. I know a bunch of people up in Canada that are well reasoned and clear thinking individuals. Is this a regional thing? Do other people around your area...

    Who is better? You or me?

    Crazily enough, I see the poll has reversed and the people of ET have now selected ME to be significantly better then YOU.

    Lay, Skilling found guilty...

    They weren't the ones who actually put together these fabrications though. They did sign off on some of them, but most were inacted by the CFO at the time. Think about the type of chaos you could cause if you wanted as the CFO of a very large company... For that matter, think about the type of...

    typical US family's net worth: $93,100

    NICE! I have a buddy here at the office who speaks broken dutch (very poorly, but studied it for a year). I'm still interested in seeing the article, and I wonder why they didn't post it on the english side? I hope none of my posts have come across as combative... I'm just really interested...

    I'm having a huge amount of trouble finding these... could you send me a link? I found the GDP per capita that was updated in 2005 that said that the average GDP per capita was $31900 http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/fields/2004.html and I'm trying to imagine a situation where...

    Interesting transcript with InterbankFX

    There are some really privledged people on this board. That comment that he made didn't come off as rude to me at all. The only thing that looks interesting here is how badly you treated him. This might be a joke I'm missing.

    Cornering the market

    They didn't just buy at $5. They were buying all the way up to the top. I didn't read much of the post, but that explains your question. I just noticed your other question. It's illegal because it is a distortion of the market. That is generally a bad thing, but it is especially with...

    Job with Morgan Stanley???

    Ehh... It's pretty tough to respond to all resumes that your desk recieves. Hopefully, your resume already demonstrates a fair amount of persistance and tenacity in your prior work, and you don't need to demonstrate it by harassing people on the desk. Calling multiple times might be more...
