    From rags to riches, 700$ to 100k in 2013

    The one on page 3 is way more entertaining.

    All money is created out of debt? -or not?

    Keynes was all about risk. What do you think he meant when he said "animal spirits"? He was always emphasizing that businessmen are looking at the future, not the past. Demand driven by fiscal policy is 100% Keynes. Monetary manipulation is Friedman. The former works, the latter is a bunch of crap.

    All money is created out of debt? -or not?

    ...and it depends on demand. The more demand, the more credit and therefore the more money is created. Vice versa in a bust.

    Article on the 2nd admendment

    By the way, the idea that the entire population is the militia came from England. They actually did that, and mandated that everyone had to have some minimum armament. That idea is what was incorporated into the 2nd Amendment.

    Article on the 2nd admendment

    You can't have it both ways, which is kind of what you're trying to do. Not that I blame you, everyone is when it comes to this issue. IF the entire population is the militia, AND the militia is a military organization, THEN the right to regulate what can and can't be carried by that same...

    Article on the 2nd admendment

    In merry old England, where this whole militia thing came from, the monarch mandated that citizens had to have some minimum level of arms based on what they would have had the ability to purchase. Obviously if you can mandate what a person has to own you can mandate what they can't as well: the...

    Article on the 2nd admendment

    Well the headline is somewhat inaccurate in that the North wanted it too. The article is addressing the bit about the word state rather than country being used in it, which is interesting, but the amendment would have been there in some form regardless. If you want I can post the background...

    Article on the 2nd admendment

    Any military organization is regulated as to the firearms it has. Ergo, given the Congress regulates the militia, it can regulate which firearms can and can't be owned. The First Amendment has no qualifying clause in it but speech is still regulated: in most places you'd need a permit to hold...

    Chris Christie is pissed with The GOP House

    [/b] Or to put that in words that will give the full political implication: 179 Republicans, doubtless including very many from the region hit by Katrina, Rita, and tornadoes for which no one made a fuss when the help was needed, voted in opposition, and only one Democrat (who should be run...

    All money is created out of debt? -or not?

    Debt came before money, and money was/is a convenient way of accounting for it. All kinds of things preceded money for keeping track of debt, then in the circumstance of war the Lydian king figured out that if you took all that gold and silver loot and melted it down into small little circles we...

    You don't need an ar-15 to hunt!

    OK, so lemme unnerstand this line o' thinking. The average person s/b allowed the same armament as the police force, right down to the APC's, cuz if they's taxpayin' mofos an' the guv figgers they needs to get theys asses fo' mo' taxes they jus' might come affer 'em wit' one a these, and so...

    Republicans' new foe: Barack Obama, guerrilla warrior

    ...and was a drooling moron. Or is that covered by the low pilot aptitude test scores? What did he have an aptitude for, anyway?

    US seared during hottest year on record by far

    I'm not surprised. The Sun had been unusually quiescent re spots, but it's more normal now, which means it's back to its usual state, and no longer masking the rise we'd get from CO2. There is some surprising hope: because of the persistently low price of nat gas which is making utilities...

    VIX fly / spread journal

    Spent more time than anyone should on figuring out what to do about Mar. I tried playing Jan and while I didn't really get hurt by the cliff I didn't make anything either (still small money; I'm not stupid enough to really do something serious at the stage I'm at now with this thing). I'm...

    Alex Jones Rips Piers Morgan a new one!

    Ah yes, "pussies". "Pansy-ass". I guess you think you're being all courageous and shit. 95% of the crap I see around the Internet is the same as this. Impressive. Really. Same as your inability to separate fact from conspiracy, another trait you share with 95% of the Internet.
