I'm not sure if you are doing this on purpose or out of ignorance. I'll assume that you're not ignorant... "The" Enlightenment. Does that make you happy?

Capitalism and rational selfishness have a lot in common, although one may debate how "same" they are. The fallacy of your logic, however, is to assume a strawman that socialism is "unselfish" and then proceed to argue against it. The illusion that socialism as the opposite of capitalism is one...

Sorry, I meant "modern" American conservatism. From wikipedia: "In the United States modern conservatism coalesced in the latter half of the 20th century, responding over time to the political and social change associated with events such as the Great Depression, tension with the Soviet...

But her philosophy was a very important part of American conservatism. The old conservatism anyway. Are you saying that conservatism is not a capitalist ideology?

I'm not sure whether you agree or disagree with the philosophy of rational selfishness. Maybe you don't care and are only interested in attacking other people.

Another lesson of "cut losses quickly, let profits run..." :D

This is not a correct analysis. The payoff changes with the boxes you choose. You also need to consider future possibilities, just like in poker. Unless you say playing poker is gambling (it's not for people who know how to play it).

Don't really have time to follow up on this. But a simple optimization is possible (hybrid between yours and mine?) But this would involve some math. After first 3 offers, compute the max potential loss (ie the highest dollar box left/# of boxes left), and if it exceeds 20% (30% or whatever)...

The neocons are confused by their leaders, and they don't even know who to blame! Lol

If you seriously want to understand the philosophy of American capitalism, read Ayn Rand and her objectivism philosophy. The objectivist morality is that of an enlightened self-interest, or "rational selfishness." The objectivist politics is one based on individual rights and capitalism...

He's just flip-flopping between Bush Sr.'s war in Somalia and Bush Jr.'s war in Iraq.

Sen. McCain: "One would hope that with adequate consultation with Congress, the administration would avoid future blunders that needlessly put at risk the lives of our troops. If they do not avoid such mistakes, Congress has the right to refuse to fund them...But should he persist in making...

This really is a very eurocentric question. Many religions in other parts of the world do not even have a god (or objects of worship, cats in the case of Egyptians). It's true that when there are no clearly defined religions, there are also no clearly defined atheism. But in many countries...

Use my strategy, and you'll never end up with 3k.

Warrants Issued for CIA Agents After Abduction of German http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,2144,2332581,00.html I'm sure they'll use "following orders" as their defense.

Just noticed my typo. It should've been: Max: 179k Min: 12k Avg: 72.5k Otherwise this sentence wouldn't make sense: "If change the strategy to taking profit as soon as reaching 100k, then 4 trades would end up above 100k but average would go down." Over 400k for 6 hands, would average at...

Simple strategy: Ride the trend. As long as the banker's offer is increasing, no deal. Deal on the first down tick. Played 6 hands (no time for more :-)) Max: 179k Min: 12k Avg: 52.5k Two trades above 100k, 4 below. If change the strategy to taking profit as soon as reaching 100k, then 4...

Geez, we eat things alive everyday. Haven't anyone had a fresh garden salad? Those vegetables are still alive when you chew on them. What do you think their feelings are? Sure, plants have feelings too. http://www.gardenseeker.com/do_plants_have_feelings_.htm "Plants also use their sense of...

Thank you. Yours too.
