Sadly, the odds are slim to none so long as a disparity of wealth exists. Personally, and speaking as a 6-year vet of Uncle Sam's Canoe Club, I'd venture that Afghanistan might not have happened, Iraq never would have, if we still had a draft.

Who funds the war if the world's financial systems collapse?

Be honest. Back then you'd have laughed, not listened, to him.

Off-topic assumptions are the last refuge of the dimwitted.

Which is only slightly worse than what you're afflicted with; being in love with yourself. Then again, I suppose there has to be at least one person out there that thinks you're worth something, so it might as well be you...

If either of you twits had walked a mile in his shoes you'd never have commented on his demise. The fact that you have means you both are no more evolved than pond scum.

You always get exactly what you pay for.

I agree. Wrote my congress-critter and senator who's up for re-election this year to tell them just that after they each voted for the bailout package. Only got a form letter reply "thanking" me for sharing my view with them.

What does the supposed Zionist Jew World Domination conspiracy have to do with being able to trade the markets? And, what proof exists beyond a few crackpot websites? You've gotta give us more than being lucky enough to trip over a random $100 bill.

Doesn't prove anything. You got lucky because you weren't jaded by being a victim of or seeing the old fishing line trick and it's cousin, the coin epoxied to the sidewalk.

IMHO, it's all bullshit, if only for one reason; if this supposed conspiracy was that wide, deep and effective those web pages wouldn't exist.

A red herring argument that's often cited. While electoral votes are not mandated to follow the popular vote, there's only been three times that a president won without winning the nationwide popular vote. The key to the process is that the members of the electoral college are elected by...

All well and good, but no framework of government can ever prevent people from acting and doing stupid things. I said national borders and system of government; the Constitution. Also, the right to practice Slavery and own slaves was never in the Constitution. "Perceived?" He flat out...

The Civil War was bloody, not because of the Constitution, but because of advances in war technology such as rifled bullets. The Constitution also didn't cause the war, it came down to the differences between the industrialized North and the agrarian South -- power and money, as with all...

It might not be perfect but you can't point to a better one. And, short of bringing a government framework of your own design to the table that's been peer reviewed and validated to overcome the "hopelessly obsolete" U.S. Constitution how about at least providing something to substantiate the...

I agree that he's white trash compared to Rothschild, etc. But, he does own a lot of media and that kind of power scares me more than a bunch of inbred bluebloods.

Bullshit, they get better leverage. But, when things pullback it hurts. Like Sumner Redstone, who just got the mother of all margin calls. Sucks more when you're rich and prices go down then when all you have are two nickles to rub together. It's why they work so hard to own the system...

In order to buy into the premise of a cabal of wealth & power bent on world domination you have to assume they are above average in the brains department. So, let's play this thing through a bit. The cabal's smart enough to cook up this multi-generational plan and they still manage to not...

If "they" had things well in hand derivatives would never have gotten so out of hand...

Because these corner-the-market conspiracies are about as believable as they are workable. Every attempt at cornering the market always ends in failure. From the time of the half shekel to the Hunt brothers. They all fail eventually. And, while the U.S. may be deep in debt, it's not...
