Hillary will beat Hillary. She's just as slick but not as smart as her husband. She'll trip herself up with all her equivocating.

Why devote your life to anger? If you had the option would you choose happiness?

The laws of nature are not negotiable and therefore not pertinent to our choosing (free will). Our free will is applied to whatever it is we're given to work with/around - including a world of natural laws. If you knew with absolute certainty of the existence of an all-powerful God who...

Good point, but maybe God/god needs to be known in an non-scientific manner, The most basic tenet of Judeo-Christianism is that God bestowed upon us the faculty of free will. If God's existence and relationship to us were to be made a scientific certainty our free will would be...

Thanks, Detective. So it'll be short and soon.

Is there an exact time that Bernake speaks? I'm looking for a profit-taking selloff if it's only .25. Thanx in advance.

Quote from vhehn:[/i] No i dont think so. To be a free thinker means being free to believe only what the evidence points to. OK. But what constitutes 'evidence'? Some folks might consider the wonder and beauty of the universe in toto as evidence that it's unlikely that it's all just a...

So let's say Bernanke decides 3.9% is too good and says no to a rate cut. Buy the dip?

Is it possible to be a free thinker and believe the world was created?

Almost 4% growth. Inflation will be main concern now.

I'm not an idealist: I don't believe that the world is all in our minds. It we all croak tomorrow the universe will still be here. But I'm saying that for each of us there's a subjective reality that's as valid and true as the material world. Hans (Heidegger R.I.P.)
