IndexPiker - - I agree with many of your points, including the fact that we havent had a truly Constitutional based government. (And in actuality the Federalists pushed move for a Constitution to replace the Articles of Confederation was motivated over their desire to expand the power of the...

Is that your quote or not ? Quote from Random.Capital: A very good question. Since the establishment of the Fed, life expectancy has nearly doubled, nobody goes hungry, and the standard of living and quality of life has exploded upwards. This is a form of "not working" much of the world...

Quote from omegapoint: When opting for the term "collectivism" to describe what it is youre driving at theres a built in bias from the get. Try substituting the term "cooperation" for it. Cooperation is what NASA does. It got the space shuttle built, it put a man on the moon. Cooperation...

Well I'm an independent with a libertarian bent - - As I see it, the 'article' posted by the OP is incredibly moronic. I almost waited for the author to blame Reps of causing old age, hair loss, and Death itself. - - What an idiot. Politicians and voters on both sides (and in the middle)...

HOPE AND CHANGE I Hope you have a little bit of Change left in your pocket after these gangsters are through with you. Maybe the dummies will start to get that this is about stealing from you, bankrupting you, and making you as dependent on the politicians and bureaucrats as possible...

You know your equating those things with the Fed is false logic don't you ? (Jeez - - this is Logic 101 stuff) Since the establishment of the Fed, the two worst world wars in history were fought resulting in the deaths of millions of people, nuclear weapons were invented, and the means to...

I didn't see the interview and don't know how you are interpreting what you saw. (Who knows, maybe he was tired and had a bad day. Maybe the interviewer or time constraints limited his ability to get into details for a general audience. I have seen him, and others, do this when they didn't want...

Well some in the U.S. blame China for problems our own central bank created, they don't blame Japan (though they did 20 years ago). Lets say you were Chinese. You work like hell, earn a bunch of dollars, but then find that the U.S. is printing them like crazy and devaluing what you earned...

Which bubble ? The no top line earnings stock market bubble ? Or the dollar as world reserve currency bubble ? Those in government seem to have a talent for diversion. I wouldn't be too amazed if there were some sort of 'national emergency' or even a war cooked up before the dollar totally...

I doubt full-of-shit LIES-man has a clue what Ron Paul economics (Austrian school) is. - - - Probably parrots the bullshit that 'capitialism' failed. - - - Pretty hard for something to fail that hasn't been tried for many, many years. A system controlled by a monopolistic central bank, favored...

Youre kidding right ? The value of the dollar is down to 5 cents from what it was when the Fed was created in 1913. Is that your idea of 'stability' ? This thread is full of so much b.s. that its hard to start. Most have no idea what Austrian economics is about, the point of the gold...

Keep posting em guys - - one of the few threads on this site worth a damned :D

OPTIONAL and I are usually on the opposite sides of an argument (despite his protests to the contrary most of his posts IMO are partisan Dem, and I am an independent) - but I would never just 'trust' someone's character assasination of another poster on this website.

Well now we are making a little bit of progress - - - yes, you can see and count the heads of the guys on your football team (for example). You know the guys - - their strengths and weaknesses on the field. Maybe even some of the guys personal ambitions, problems, family, etc. - - - All of this...

What a bunch of jibberish. The individual is an abstraction ? You can reach down and feel your own hand or foot can't you ? You can talk to your family members face-to-face, can't you ? - Your 'collective' is another bullshit concept. What the hell is it ? We are the product of 'the...

'Groups' are abstractions, constructs, conceptualizations - - they are a step away from the reality. What you have are individual human beings - - with all their personal likes, dislikes, quirks, and qualities. Pigeonholing people into some category - - is the very essence of prejudice and...

If, just for the sake of argument, - what you say is true - - - so how would you know that this ZZZzzz person is the same individual ?

Do you have actual evidence (past posts) to back up such an outrageous claim ?

Those 'charts' are bullshit. Just do a search and you'll see the topic was discussed recently. Basically, they cherry picked a portion of the chart and are using bogus 'predicted' figures rather than reality. An EPA scientist from MIT wrote an internal memo stating that the facts didn't support...

Here's an excellent video. (The author wrote the outstanding study of the history of the Federal Reserve - "Creature from Jekyll Island") It may answer why we seem to get the same thing, no matter who we vote for: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6276223916862531753#
