You wrote a small book. It nicely represents, with the exception of some patently absurd statements, what is arguably the majority opinion among the educated population of the United States. That yours is a popular view, is indicated by the number of likes here on ET that your post immediately...

I might agree that fear is not the dominant feature of modern Republican politics, but it is certainly one of the dominant features. Other features are party members' preference for job training over education, anti-intellectualism and mistrust of academia. Most troubling is the party's latent...

I just wanted to say that i personally am impressed with the quality of your reasoning on this issue because it is bolstered by our knowledge that the lower court system of district and circuit appeals courts was not yet established when Article III of the Constitution was adopted. The...

I liked the McWhorter piece that followed this.

An accomplished con artist with zero integrity, that is. The worst thing about Elder, and all the other Republican Politicians who have tied themselves to Trump's coattails, is that he, like Trump, lacks integrity. All of these politicians who have publicly tied themselves to Trump, the...

That's true. What, however, does this have to do with what I actually wrote?

Is there any reasonable argument you can give to support your contention that gradual loss of the dollar's status as the reserve currency is related to the U.S. moving more to the political left? If so, state your argument. Otherwise I shall, and I suspect others will too, go on assuming your...

Upoon close examination no support for this idea can be found. It is limited to a few cases cases. The broader picture suggests something quite different. The U.S. is the single most "right swinging" nation among all developed nations; yet their are several other nations to the "left" of the...

Actually there is an anchor. It is not so tightly attached but it is there underlying U.S. Currency. It is U.S. Productivity.

You've been watching too much American TV. Start watching more Chinese TV.

First this is very likely faked, and second, what is illegal about it? Oh, and 3rd, who cares. Why is this crap showing up on ET under Wall Street News?

he he he, so I stupidly accused you of suggesting that intentional killing of babies should be sanctioned on a state to state basis, when I should instead have accused you of suggesting that each state should decide for itself whether they want to allow unintended killing of babies, i.e., baby...

OK. o. k., so the definition of "murder" is determined by legality. So what does this mean, (cf post#228) "Til [sic] what gestational age may moms kill their babies." Taking this statement at face value, it seems to any reasonable person that you believe abortion is murder. You wrote that...

"Relinquishing" is not the right word here. Reserve currency status is something that can be voluntarily relinquished, but that word implies we are voluntarily relinquishing the Dollar's reserve status. That is not the case. Reserve currency status has to be earned and agreed to...

Your concern is that they are printing too much money, right? And not they they shouldn't print money at all? Is this correct?

With you as my inspiration, I might be able to have a successful career as a stand-up Comedian.

N.B./ to the sane fraction of ET members. Jem, has gone over the hill. In his mind, abortion is murder, so he now proposes, in effect, that murder should be an option left up to the States; thus in some States murder will be just fine, and in others, not so much. o_O

I have patented these adjectives . You've no right to use them without my permission.

You left off "commie", as in "activist, commie Court." :D

yes, I am an expert on other other side, as you say, but sadly only in comparison with you jemmy. You can't believe how much Joy you brought me to know that you had no choice but to concede to my "expert" opinion on his matter! Happy Sunday Morning to you. It is Sunday, isn't it? :D P.S...
