"Wrought havoc"?? are you referring to the age of the explorers and conquistadors, or the Puritans, or the colonial lords, or the Revolutionary period? when do your history books say the country was "founded," and which "havoc" was being wrought upon Europe during that time?

Who Wants This War? And why don't we find out before we start one? By Michael Kinsley Posted Wednesday, July 10, 2002 It was amazing to read the Pentagon's detailed plans for an invasion of Iraq in the New York Times last week. The general reaction of Americans to this news was even...

Maybe Dan Quayle had a point, after all... I notice this stuff. It certainly feels like there has been a deterioration of morals, honor, character, respect, etc. - whether that is true or just the result of media sensationalism and technology that now allows them to endlessly pipe the...

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up...

Second that. :)

If not for the Electoral College system and, as you advocate, the President were chosen by a simple majority handcount, then the election could be won within a handful of states - CA, FL, TX, NY, MI, and IL. CA holds a fifth of the US population alone. The entire remainder of the country...

"The only difference between a Republican and a Democrat is that one skins you from the neck down, and the other from the ankles up." - Mark Twain (paraphrased) Great post rs7. I agree completely - they are ALL liars, con-men, and thieves. It takes votes from BOTH sides of the aisle...

:D excellent.

wonder if Soros and the author are pushing a political agenda here...

Well, I must concur - most crude indeed, especially when contrasted with the elegance and refinement of your most enthralling post. What prose! You have greatly enhanced this thread and have opened our eyes to truth that may have otherwise escaped us less-gifted commoners. May I suggest...

a good response might be: "no, this is not work. work is when you spend your life obeying orders and kissing ass so some other guy can get rich off of your time and effort. this is trading." (a bit harsh maybe, but appropriate considering the offensiveness of the original question...)

hey Baron - really like the new layout and the more logical organization - and the OT board is a good idea, too. Great job and thanks for your efforts.

You raise very good points - I would be interested to see a comparison of the total effective tax burden (accounting for federal deductability, hidden taxes, etc.) across the states - I'm guessing that in the final calculation they are roughly equal between states of comparible populations...

This is a great site: http://stockcharts.com/index.html they have both pay and free services - I find the free info useful, especially the MarketSummary (excellent), Carpet, and some of the scans.

Thanks for your replies :) I am in the very early stages of researching different areas -- I'll definitely look into the places both of you mentioned. ps: I agree that few places could be worse than Manhattan on a hot August day, especially if it's a garbage-collection day....
