    Flashback: Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

    And replace them with whom exactly? If the elite come to you and put a gun to your head, forget incorruptibility... or we could put people in office that would happily kill the messenger and start trying to find the people that sent him... that is my pre-planned plan A in that sort of event...

    _Why do we even need the insurance companies?

    Yup, private sector is bad, government is far worse. If these Commie Democrats want to just stand up and represent Americans they can pass laws that give Insurance companies a time limit on cancelling a policy, do something to destroy the sugar purveyors and force the food industry to be...

    Microsoft Sabotaging Firefox. Security risk !!!

    Microsoft has to take a cavalier attitude towards security. Windows was never designed for a networked environment. It is wrong for that and has been wrong for it from the outset... and it always will be.. it's hard to have a really secured computer.. I have a whitelisting hardware firewall and...

    We had this most recent 26 year runup after 401k's and IRA's came into existence.. everybody bought stocks... wouldn't they all have to sell all of them to get us back to 1982?

    Conclusion....Consumption Tax Needed

    The income tax should be extended back down to the lower income levels as it was before the mid 90's... I still think that one of the oddest moments in US history was when the Republicans took over in the 90's and they made the income tax system way more progressive on the basis of "family...

    Pentagon has the power to ENABLE new economy, new civilization

    uhh, yeah, I recalculated that, approx 60 miles on a side square would do it... 3600 square miles of stirling engines and some million volt lines piping it out... and we don't know if they really tried to use every square foot of their 4500 acre site... The entire Mojave Desert is 25,000 square...

    Typical State with 10% unemployment

    It appears to be 6-4. Anyhow, it appears that McCain states believe that the program for tuition, health care, etc. is a good job and they are correct... Personally I'd rather live in a Blue state.. with high employment... and skiing for old folks... Vermont! Yes, thank you ET. I can stop...

    Why are living standards in the western world still far ahead of emerging countries?

    I'd speculate that the people that have been in the lead for centuries will continue to be in the lead. Cultures always gain by cross pollenization of ideas. The internet is good for that, ideas spread very fast in a monkey see monkey do world. People have always been quick to glom on to a...

    "The Great Depression: A Diary"

    They don't want it answered. As long as they have their grubby hands on the stimulus money spigot they are good to go.. they can pass out trillions to their friends and allies and claim responsibility for the turn around when it finally happens, it's all good for politicians.... Keynes was never...

    Pentagon has the power to ENABLE new economy, new civilization

    This is what our mental health care will be like with Obamacare :p Regarding energy.. I lived near Edwards Air Force Base.. one day I'm driving home, it's still daylight out pretty much. All of a sudden I see a flash of light that lights up the whole sky, even though it was already lit... so...

    Typical State with 10% unemployment

    Yeah, and Bill Clinton signed off on it all... Clinton's economic advisers were from the same school as Reagan's... We do need to reregulate, but are the current people doing anything? They want to make GM's leadership grovel, they want to send busloads of Acorn demonstrators to scare people...

    I heard a little rumor, 80% of volume on CME GLOBEX is AUTOMATED?

    Typical State with 10% unemployment

    It IS draining now that you mention it.. His supporters are all little paper cutouts from "Rules for Radicals" pretending like they have lots of support and a sweeping mandate, the intellectual and moral high ground, etc, ad nauseum ad infinitum... Obama's answer to everything is more...
