They do it because they trade in publicity & sound bites as a means to get votes. Nothing that they say makes any difference in Iran. None of it has to do with 'principles'. Some in Congress have been mouthing off about human rights violations in China- - until their government let it be known...

We would be better with a blank page and no central bank at all - - -

We probably agree more than not - - check out the book cited above. Greenspan tried to defend himself by saying that he didnt cause the housing bubble because he only controlled short term rates. But that low rate money primed the pump for all sorts of excesses, including the purchase of lots...

Bubbles don't occur across all asset classes. There was the dot.com bubble and more recently the real estate bubble. These were fueled by the policies of the Federal Reserve. As Meyer Rothschild, founder the the international banking dynasty stated - - - 'Give me control of a nation's...

This is a sentiment shared by many, and it will only continue to grow. - - - The thing is, your bank 'loaned' you something that they made up out of thin air. They never had the 'money' (another total fabrication) they loaned you sitting in any vault, but just fabricated it via 'fractional...

Go into a used book store and pull out some old magazines. Look back a few decades and you'll see plenty of covers warning against a coming new ice age. Theres a fool born every minute, & in this country they vote. (When not watching the boob tube.)

Whether they call themselves 'conservative' or 'liberal' IMO they all seem to be only about expanding their own power & grabbing as much loot for themselves as they can. They do this by constantly increasing the size of "the state". They are all statists. (And "the state" is nothing more than a...

I suspect it'll be the same as with other items where 'the government' (nothing more than lawyer/liar/politicians & bureaucrats) try to maintain their comfy positions & control people by controlling the natural consumer voting process known as 'the market'. So called "black markets" will...

The single payer would be the US Federal Govt (controlled by lawyer/politicians) and a gigantic new bureacracy with no competition at all. In what realms of endeavor are the bureaucrats particularly efficient or effective ? - I would be curious to see an example or two. Where do they reduce...

Pretty good advice IMO. I would see this as a big bonus and go about living my life for the most part as if I didn't have the money - - - at least for a few years. Trust us on this one - - - - most of us were dumbass kids at 18 ! This isn't a put down, we've all gone through it. Many of us made...

By the same logic, how could all those Vegas casinos build their mega-buck palaces if all the gamblers were losers ? Very easily - - its because most DO lose.

Youve failed to even read some of the references cited in the article which you post (such as that from the Canadian Nat Post by Peiser of 15 May 2005) that actually refute that portion of the article that you provided and say the exact opposite - that there is no consensus on man caused global...

Typical fascist (doesn't matter if they're on the 'left' or 'right' - its all about the power trip of running others lives. They always justify their Nazi-like tendencies with the refrain that what they demand "is good for us"). The 'market' is nothing more than people making free choices about...

If I were China - - I would congratulate myself for a job well done (intentional or not). I have now turned the U.S. population into a nation of debt slaves by selling them useless crap and loaning them money. I have their politicians in my back pocket & can be assured that they will do my...

Hmmmm - - - have you every listened to the prez ? He knows absolutely nothing about even the basics of economics or business - - much less the ins-and-outs of M2M.

Arafat stole billions - - - now they want to repeat the same mistakes ? Amazing. The 60s college hippies are now in charge. - -

I abhor racism and racists. I happen to be a registered independent, not a Republican. (Don't even get me started on some of the policies of George Bush !) But look at the kind of bigoted emotional prejudiced generalizations that you just made. You undoubtedly feel theyre 'true'. I'm afraid...

Nevadan - - I just read your last post after you wrote this one on FL. The person making the gun control argument is from FL and asserts that violent crime is up there. I did a quick search and found news accounts from their local paper that also mentioned this. It was stated that the crimes...

Nevadan - thank you for the link. I am a bit of a fan of history, especially the history of the Old West. So, I just had to reply even though I swore off this thread as too tempting a way for me to procrastinate from doing my tax work. The real history is so much more fascinating than the...

lol you actually believe that . . . the party line. Amazing. All those criminals are going to turn over what they have when all the rest of the citizens guns are taken off the street ? All the millions of arms from through out the world are going to stay off Americas streets . . . once they...
