"Can the International Monetary Fund afford it if the rest of Europe’s ring of fire (Portugal, Spain and Italy, in descending order of crisis) starts to crumble? My back-of-an-envelope calculations don’t look good. Here’s the logic. The IMF currently determines how much it can lend to a...

Excellent post!!!! You might want to change that "hardest thing" part, and choose a different belief that works for the positive. Just a thought.:)

Uncle Sam being broke and bank execs summering on the Riviera have nothing to do with me being successful in life. You're certainly entitled to your belief system. My belief system is a bit different.

And unions had nothing to do with this, right?

Wait a minute. If you've EVER rec'd a 1099 form listing you as an Independent Contractor, you're not eligible for State or Fed Un. bennies, EVER?

Who they blame? Anyone but unions and themselves.

uh...where ya'll been?!? "Hundreds of youths rioted in Athens on Saturday, throwing Molotov cocktails and stones at police who responded with tear gas at a May Day rally against austerity measures being enacted by the cash-strapped government to secure foreign loans to stave off bankruptcy."...

Yes, we do. And it only took about 72 hrs before the Feds started confiscating firearms from the homes of law abiding citizens in New Orleans after the floods of Katrina. Did they have the Constitutional authority to do so? Nope. Did they have superior firepower? You betcha. Did the...

Dr. Pepper wrote "Americans will riot when their social security, medicare, food stamps, unemployment, etc. benefits get cut and their taxes go up just like the Greek people are doing. " I wonder if our unions will be the instigators, just like they are in Greece?

Ivan, we've reached the point in time where the masses aren't smart enough, let alone motivated, to read the seed packet's instructions. Not blaming public education, rather, their parents.

Seems as if it's really true. Politicians never do the right thing until it's too late. I'll bravely expose my vast ignorance and ask this. I keep hearing about Greece "defaulting". Does that mean that all Greek Govt. bonds become worthless? What happens to a nations financial...

If the Chicago Climate Exchange ever gets off the ground, I'd trade the index. Surely saving the planet would garner tax free status?!?

Undersea vents put oil in the ocean every day. I never hear newscasts mention this.

Not only do we in the US not govern ourselves, we let ourselves be governed by the corrupt. We also let ourselves be fooled, and lied to. Most Americans would rather hang onto a lie than deal with truth. Lies, like opiates, feel good.

Nah, the Dems would just call you an Elitist Racist Hatemonger, and go on their merry way deconstructing the country.

The growing number of Americans on Gummint Assistance just adds to the Dems voter base.

Martinghoul wrote this about the US Supreme Court: "elects its members for life;" No, they don't elect their own "members". Justices are appointed by POTUS, and must be approved by Congress before being seated on that lofty bench.

" Statehood would give Puerto Rico more congressional representation than 25 of our 50 states! It would inevitably give Democrats two additional U.S. Senators and 6 to 8 additional Members of the House. " TAH DAH!!!!

Out here in CA, the Santa Clara County board of Socialists just banned fast food resturants (= MacDonalds, Booger King, etc) from including a toy in their "Happy Meals". I'm serious. It is now a county regulation. Not applicable inside incorporated city limits, but in the un-incorporated parts...

I, too, prefer the NQ, for all the reasons stated by other posters. Plus it fits my methodology, strategy, setups, etc.
