Now that would truly be doing "God's Work" !!!!:D

I'm surprised it's that low.

RE: all of these economic plans and activities run by our Government... A half decent Magician will be able to divert the attention of ..oh say about 85% of his audience from what his hands and props are REALLY doing. In the back of what little mind I've got left, I keep thinking we're having...

I'm learning how to think in terms of "Social and Economic Justice". Here's what's going down, and soon. Da Gubmint will assess a "Health Fee" on every American with a job/income to pay for the Health Bill. The fees will be totally voluntary. However, if you DON'T pay, they'll 1099 your happy...

I know a few "youngsters" who believe the media they want should be IMMEDIATE and FREE, period. It's not that they celebrate "ripping off Da Man", nor are they worried about being morally wrong for stealing. It simply doesn't occur to them. And of course the problem for BB, and other pay-for-...

A family member has quite a lot saved up due to a rather Spartan lifestyle, but is currently relying on TX state teachers retirement to live on. I wonder how long that will last.

AND....Gubmint Unemployment Bennies will extend for years, AND Taxes will eventually go to 100%,... I once used to ask when this shit will end, but there's no point.

Might very well be true. Mark Twain said " Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't."

Are you referring to Psycho-Cybernetics?, or the one by Furey?

I've been saying for years we'll eventually see 100% taxation. Sounds pretty nutty, don't it? A lot of shit we've seen lately sounded totally certifiable just a few yrs ago.

I'd venture to say that the world's consumption demand has already dropped by 10%, and is going lower. China could wind up in more trouble than we currently think.

Regarding banks, this is probably the most insightful post I've yet to read on ET. As for Credit Scores, I'm sure most know this, but not only do employers check your credit, every Ins. Co. regulates your premium based on your credit score.

Shortie, you raise a good point. In 2004, on the eve of the giant Tsunami that killed 1/4 of a million people in Thailand , my wife and I were in Hayward, CA. Just before Midnight, she grabbed me in the hall and said "Did you feel that?". It was a minor quake, about a 3.5. The next morning we...

Quasimodo...mmm...that names rings a bell.

On another chat board, a friend posited the idea that we will eventually lose to Islam. The reason he cited for this seemingly outrageous claim is this: We (the collective "WE", the country as a whole) can't agree on two things. 1.Who our enemy really is. 2.What to do with our enemy...

If we spent just half of the Law Enforcement Narcotics Enforcement budgets on keeping our streets safe, there'd be a cop on every other corner, 24/7. Not to mention the lives of Officers and innocents saved. No more drug shootings or kidnappings. Phoenix AZ averages almost 1 kidnapping a day...

"A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty Hi-Oh Silver!..." THAT lightspeed?

We can only estimate the billions of USD flowing into banks annually from the narcotics trade. If we instantly legalized all illegal drugs, some major banks would probably fold due to a lack of cash on hand because of the ensuing price collapse. Thenwe'd have to hit the "RESET" button for...

I believe there are those with a "gift", if you will, that allows them to do amazing things in this life. For some it's baseball, for others it's biology or technology. I have more musical talent than I know what to do with. I play Scottish Highland Bagpipes, and give of my talents freely to...

I totally agree. Years ago in the US, only land owners could vote. Not a bad idea today.
