I'm thinking along the lines of cap gains increases and/or transaction taxes if the bailout fails. Haven't heard from either candidate on the transaction tax. I believe the bill left the door open on that one, unless I am mistaken in the wording. Perhaps I should say trading, not...

In the interest of fixing the current market crisis, which candidate would be more likely to make trading more costly or difficult (as some congress members have proposed), and would you still vote for that candidate at the expense of your livelihood?

Gringinho, you and I had a great discussion on indoctrination and open minds the other day. I thought about injecting faith into that discussion, but did not. I will here, however. I might have an open mind about BO if I knew more about him. I believe to vote for him without these questions...

I don't say one way or the other, but that is the question. Is he? Do we want the answer before he is elected, or after? Many people hang with like minded individuals. That's usually the foundation of great friendships, business relationships, etc. If he is not an extremist, let him open up...

perhaps the other way around: THE AYERS/OBAMA TIMELINE: (Version 2.0; a work in progress; dates are approximate) 1981-1983 [William Ayers and Barack Obama meet at Columbia?] 1987 William Ayers links up with Barack Obama in Chicago 1988 Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money...

Do you consider Ayers an extremist? Would you have considered Davis an extremist, or just your friendly commie next door? Do you know enough about BO to know what he really believes, because if you do, you know more than most. You've agreed with me in the past about media not reporting...

I didn't say that. I watch cartoons every day. It's called the mainstream media. You know, that shit you watch and believe every day.

Or perhaps he is well indoctrinated in their views, and now stating otherwise for political expediency. There are philosophies that teach "the ends justify the means".

I noticed that, too. That was pretty funny:D :D

10-4 on Cashin and Santelli. I enjoy Mark Haines from an entertainment perspective. Comic relief. Cramer interview seems to indicate he has joined the panic.

Just a dream.

I believe that it was the "punish the republican" vote that gave the congress back to the dems. Guess that one backfired. Or did it? Time will tell.

This article would dispute that. It claims intervention prolonged the GD. http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx?RelNum=5409

It's funny because it's true!:D The results, however, are no laughing matter.:(

Telling about gains might jinx your wins, and in the current environment, could result in running from lynch mobs.

and food:)

It doesn't matter. The majority of the media has his back. And if they wanted to report the character issues, I believe he will still win. Too many people want to have a prez who can say nuclear properly, or want badly to have an AA as prez so they can say "see, we aren’t racist". His...

I would believe that to mean, simply put, to maintain an open mind regardless of ones own views.:)

Who determines what indoctrination is? And what if those who make that call are indoctrinated? It would seem to me that anyone who comes away with an opinion similar to that of the educator could be considered indoctrinated in that educator's views. To determine if another’s belief...
