    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    ges, It's not even that which worries me most. IMO, the increased government spending (=even higher taxes, just not immediately) & increasing statism, with politicians overeager to create news laws, new social programs & new government agencies. These new government agencies & powers never...

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    ...and that depressing feeling is normal, considering that, to paraphrase Orwell....You're looking at the faces of your old Liberal rulers, then back at the faces of the GOP pigs you helped elect- and you can see no difference between the two.

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    If they were smart they'd run Condy Rice as VP, with intention of an '08 Rice presidential run. There's no way she could lose (except maybe to Hillary). Republicans/conservatives would vote for her on ideological grounds, while blacks in the big urban centers would be tempted to vote Republican...

    Yeah, I've found a magical wormhole into tommorow. I guess I should share some of the news headlines from here, Thursday Sep 4, 2003. Suicide Bombing Rocks Jerusalem, IDF lauches raids, killing Hamas leader. Two U.S. soldiers killed in Felugah Iraq by enemy fire, another wounded in a...

    Bung...emergency/major treatment only medical DOES exist...and not from the government. I pay $1,200/year for a Blue Cross policy with a $2,500 deductible. This covers all the nightmare run over by a car/ dying of cancer scenarios, costs less, and limits paperwork.

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    Lodging a 3rd party protest vote isn't really my style. While the Libertarians do come closest to my beliefs, I cite the example of the 2000 presidential election. A significant percentage of American hippies found the Al Gore wasn't tree-hugging collectivist enough for them, so they voted for...

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    Bungrider, alot of what you say makes sense to me, but I have to ask...was it wrong for America to use Joseph Stalin and his powerful army as a temporary ally against Hitler? And if temporary co-operation with Stalin made sense in WW2, how does this differ from the various maggots we had to...

    By the way, do you want to know what was the last straw for me... the reason why I now hesitate to punch the 'R' ballot square? It was none of the major issues listed above, but a seemingly minor thing that affects me personally. Since daytrading has turned to shit, I now spend most of my...

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    Frustrating indeed.... and yes sometimes I wonder if we'd be better off with (Clintonesque scumbag) Al Gore as president, with a Republican House & Senate holding him in check. Just like in mathamatics, a double negative equals a positive...it's almost like Republicans with a triple-hold on...

    Anything similar to Reuters?

    Reuters plus? gee I wonder what firm you could have been with...lol. Seriously though, when I left Schonfeld, I was really worried that finding similar software to the stuff I'd been using for the last 7 years would be a massive problem. It wasn't. I found Echotrade's Echopro to be a...

    What good are we traders for?

    ***You choose to return something from what you earned back to society other than taxes. But why? Are you obligated? or you "feel" that you are or you should? Isn't that your personal preference? Where is the cause and effect of what you feel to me and others, considering that it is not an...

    What good are we traders for?

    I really don't wish to start a flame war at all....but I gotta ask: You're not rich, are you? You're having alot of trouble properly sequencing cause & effect here. Without speculators, there is no capitalism. Without capitalism, there is no FREEDOM.

    What good are we traders for?

    By trading, you add volume & liquidity to our nation's capital markets, thereby making them more attractive to investors. Also, by buying dips, you help stabilize the markets, and lessen potential massive price drops. The very existence of strong capital markets (which you are helping to...

    The turntable isn't placed in parking spaces at all, but right at the entrance to the indoor garage.

    CAPITALISM: I used to think the Republican side was clearly better...

    Voting Rebuplican used to be a no-brainer for me. After all, I support Ayn Rand's ideal political system of capitalistic freedom, where people are free to create and produce, collectivism is shunned and individual rights are respected above all. The only legitimate role of government should...

    for those with EVERYTHING

    This may seem like a joke to you guys, but these car turntables have a common, legit use in crowded big cities like Chicago. They are often installed in big apartment/ condo complexes here, where people frequently drive up , and there isn't enough space to turn around.

    What the hell is wrong with the French?

    NY Jewish gem dealer labeled "terrorist"

    Hey, scumbags come in all different colors. I'm of Jewish ethnicity, but I find it likely that this guy did exactly what he's accused of. The government seems to think so. If he's guilty, that makes him even LOWER than the most vile Islamic terrorist filth. A Muslim is indoctrinated from...
