There is a LOT more going on than would appear. The "Founding Fathers"...not what they tried to appear. The role of the US gov't in the world...not what it would appear! The way America became "free"...not what it would appear! The near future..."not what it would appear"!!! -gastropod

That is no joke. I once traced it back. It would appear that the State Department maintains the copies of the birth certificates and they are "free" to transmit them along to the IMF. Total bullshit. The birth certificate was "supposed" to be about infant mortality. In actuality the birth...

You are fighting a battle that the "elites" have chosen that you fight. You are not thinking for yourself. The US has NOT had a Constitution since January 1861. The "Civil War" was unconstitutional. When the South seceded...they took their representatives and senators with them to the...

Well I am glad somebody agrees! I used to live up in the Boston area. It is a total ripoff compared to many other parts of the country. Small home on a small lot and still a high price tag - makes no sense. It is not like manufacturing/R&D/etc is flocking to the northeast! Is there new...

The morons at the Fed have protected the northeast. If banks were allowed to fail in the northeast, then it would show that the pillar of the northeast - the New York Fed - was in serious trouble and therefore the US was in trouble. Have a look at the failed bank list on the FDIC web site...

I believe the politicians are idiots, because they followed the desires of the "elites." I think the "elites" THINK they control the outcome. I think the "elites" want to bring about chaos and that they will take over by settling the chaos. I think the "elites" are dead wrong - the chaos will...

I agree that what we see right now is a deflation in food prices...but, those same drops in prices are causing farmers to stop farming. Once the full impact of the lack of production (from the farmers who left the market) and the worldwide meteorological conditions that are devastating food...

Sorry to disagree with you DB, but I think the time frame is MUCH closer. I will admit being wrong in that I thought the "collapse" was going to occur a year or two ago, but our politicians have proven to be bigger idiots than I thought (Dems and Reps included in that list)! I tend to think...

(beginning of my hypothetical case) I am glad you agree with central planning. As part of your agreement with central planning - you are now my employee. I have decided that you make $7.25/hr. and that you are moving to New York City to collect trash along the streets. I for my "planning"...

Just when you thought there might be a chance for the US and relief from the hoax of "global warming"...the EPA has decided to drive a spike into the head of the US economy...and have declared "greenhouse" gases as a "danger."...

OK, what impact upon the market do you think Goldman losing the VaR model will have? 27 days and counting! http://www.federalreserve.gov/BoardDocs/LegalInt/BHC_ChangeInControl/2009/20090205e.pdf Just curious -gastropod

You probably already know this...but, the VIX does not measure volatility. It measures activity in some options...which implies volatility...but, not necessarily volatility. I have seen some significant trading in futures...but, the VIX barely moved. "Word on the street" is that the PPT...

Not trying to be offensive...but, just wondering, did you read the article from the link I posted? Mine is more a question of degrees. Thanks, gastropod

If you think he is a racist, because he doesn't like Tiger Woods...I'd LOVE to hear your take on this article... http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2009/12/cop_killer_hailed_as_muslim_ma.html -gatropod

I can't remember the posters moniker, but what was the name of the poster with the "magic ball" He had a thread similar to this...whatever happened to him? -gastropod Sorry -not trying to hijack the thread - just curious.

New name: William Jefferson Woods!

I will offer up what I shall call here, "gastropod's laws": 1.) Those least fit to reproduce are the ones most likely to reproduce. 2.) Given the opportunity not to think, most people will chose not to think. 3.) Wealth can lead to a blindness that is only cured by poverty (this is...

There is an MIT scientist who said it best. (Paraphrasing) "We can't tell what the weather will be like in two weeks and yet, now, the "climate scientists" can tell us what it will be like in 20 years???" -gastropod
