Mav88, so what IS your solution to crack babies, fat people and old corpses held artificially alive? How do they pay their dues? You DO understand that you are promoting authoritarian rule? Heard of a mixed economy before? :p

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_jamming You just like to create http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt :p

Hehe, but unlike Pritchett I think that the strength of reasoning is what gives integrity, and makes it easier to evolve, adapt and progress - grow. And I'm no fan of Occam's razor used at everything. The Neocons also use logics and science to found their ideas... and see how that goes with...

If there was a democracy where corruption was next to impossible, it wouldn't be so far fetched. The only such democracy is a direct one.

Mav88, make them into biofuels or something? Babies should work up a debt when they're born? Old people can have their belongings nationalized? Numerous solutions along your line of thinking. Light the furnaces! Gas chambers will make it painless and effective... :)

Remember that in some contexts 2+2=22... Like I said, it depends on the context, and what formal grammar is used. If you look at grammars, automatas, etc you will find that there is a lot more to mathematics than just algebra. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automata_theory Also, like I...

There is already a flight into the basic commodities. Great manufacturers like in Germany are also quite safe I think. Those companies who own natural resources in the US, and are in good fiscal condition should be relatively safe bets...

nokomisjeff, and the Objectivists that I have as friends are very, very honest people with great integrity like I said. They are politicians and judges. However, I do manage to get farther than them in epistemology - and I think that having a "guideline" for what any person is doing in...

nasdorq, you need to know how to deal with his persona... http://www.politicsforum.org/images/flame_warriors/ I consider myself something between a godzilla-kungfu-peacemaker-philosopher... others probably have much less flattering views, no doubt. :p

Mvic, you need to view this with the realisation that just like IT IS a mixed economy - it IS a mix of systems that you need to apply to your daily decisions. Let me explain. You learn something - but that doesn't mean that every situation is the same. There are also no absolutes - so you...

As long as Paulson and Bernanke are CORRUPT it doesn't help how SMART they are... :p You guys need serious oversight for these scoundrels, but better yet vote with your brains. Go Ron Paul!!!! Start organizing your friends for doing a voters riot - vote independent this year. Email...

Human, social and economic costs are nothing - just as long as the elitists get their bonuses and medals... :D

Guys, if the USD tanks ... waddya gonna do? I would suggest you open an account with someone like InteractiveBrokers and keep your base money in EUR. Doesn't that seem pretty secure? Also - IB has global presence so you can pretty much trade anywhere in the world... sounds ok, no? You...

Create a Gmail (Google email) account specifically for the purpose of answering stuff like that. It is easy to block/filter spam there and they have a good colloquial filter as well. Otherwise, you can use an alias ... They don't have any business knowing you real name. They will place you...

ScottD, that is exactly how I live - I do what I say, and I can rationalize what I do. That is also the strength and insight that philosophy gives in contrast to someone who are faith-based. I can reason about my choices, not distracted by morality - but applying ethics to what I do...

There is always tomorrow... - a mother's comforting words. :p

You thought you could corner me using logics and into an contradiction - while the real issue is YOU not understanding the complexity of the issues. I promise you, you can't even get close to defining what nothingness is - while I can define it from many different viewpoints coherently within...

Keep telling yourself that, you Xanax-popping Bluepill gobbler ... hehehe You are seriously delusional. You now have nationalsocialistic government. No regulations? Look up the definition. I already went through the list here... For being nationalsocialism: anti-parliamentarism...

Mercor, yes - it was in the economics forum right now (where you probably found it). http://www.gold-eagle.com/editorials_01/seymour062001pv.html
