Now you're getting ridiculous...

...other possible occurrences include the Sun exploding, the emergence of an airborne-contagious form of AIDS, massive catastrophic release of methane into the atmosphere from ruptured undersea clathrate deposits, and Brad and Jennifer breaking up... oh yeah, and it's also possible that some day...

I think that if special guests are actually trading, sharing and applying particular set-ups or analyses of ongoing market action, maybe supplying llustrative charts directly related to what's actually going on, then that might be interesting. If they're giving canned presentations or anything...

Now why, I have to ask myself, have I been contributing to a thread begun by someone who deserves to be put on "ignore," and who greets attempts at discussion with inane blithering? As if it wasn't bad enough to have all posts subsisting beneath a "poll" whose contents suggest some pathetic...

Now msfe is doing an ever better wild-imitation - linking another dubious web site, and leaving it to others to clean up the resulting mess. I'm waiting for any of the critics of Bush policy to propose a coherent, workable alternative. If Bush's opponents favor a continued...

Le Carre tells us that he "would love to see Saddam’s downfall — just not on Bush’s terms and not by his methods. And not under the banner of such outrageous hypocrisy." The novelist appears to have no proposal, not even a fictional scenario, for precipitating that downfall, but appears...

100% mortality rate

Approximately 10% are dead within five years of first getting the job.

I don't profess the ability to assess the merits of particular NASA studies, initiatives, and programs, and I suspect that "space elevator" projects will remain beyond our technical capabilities for a long time to come, but it may be worth remembering that the concept that was eventually adopted...

In my experience as a trader, when another trader who appears to be intelligent and more or less experienced states with complete confidence that one or another tool is "practically useless," and then some group of traders start competing with each other over how demonstratively they can...

Many of those affected emotionally, or even profoundly, by the 9/11 events or by the Columbia's destruction may have difficulty explaining their reactions. Using logic along the lines of the above-quoted post - comparing the numbers of deaths in the particular tragedy to those in some other...

Level 2 seems of greatest value at those times when Market Maker quotes are most likely to represent "real" buying or selling interest. During the early post-opening period, especially on stocks that are undergoing major moves, or when stocks are testing critical levels and about to undergo a...

From the same Hitchens piece, relating to the main topic of this thread: [b]

Just for illustration - and for those interested - one of Hitchens' many recent statements in support of action against Hussein from the perspective of a veteran leftist: Full text at: http://www.news.mflaterz.com/Op-Ed/Christopher%20Hitchens%20We%20Must%20Fight%20Iraq%20092502a.htm

I believe that many have considered the point, but that for various reasons (including intellectual laziness and rhetorical convenience) it is frequently forgotten or neglected. Bush's formulation from the State of the Union address implicitly recognized the problem, though I suppose he and...

Why Kicking would be trying to defend Mandela's indefensible comments is beyond me. Some of Mandela's greatest admirers, including many on the anti-war side, have condemned his statements. Frankly, I don't believe Kicking is thinking properly. Untrue: The category Weapons of Mass...

There's a difference between extending an empire and fulfilling an imperial objective: The Romans might occasionally send out a legion or two to punish the barbarians for incursions into Romanized provinces - fulfilling imperial objectives without engaging in conquest. In adddition, there are...

Not to do too much of the anti-war coalition's work for it, but, from the point of view of its most virulently anti-US members, the first answer and the third (as well as the principal part of the fourth, of course) are the same: Ensuring stability of the world's oil supply is the same as...
