Yeah. That's why I reposted your Douglas quote. Anyone who doesn't understand it will have a long row to hoe.

You mean like old, white CCs and the glory days of Reaganism? BTW, you might like to know that due to your remarks about The Story of Civilization yesterday, I bought a set and hope to finish it this time. Tossing a pebble in a pond.

Oh but Donna, you silly goose, that's all hindsight. What would Surfer say? :D Couldn't help it. Sorry.

What would Brian Boitano do?

Everyone who disagrees with him is gay. And he doesn't recognize his own Pavlovian responses. Fun to watch, though.

Actually, once. The first time was by court verdict.

Mark (wrb) is another one who understands what a trader's mindset is.

A ballot initiative that would support breaking California into six smaller and more coherent states is being backed by Timothy Draper, a tech investor. It’s a great idea. But why stop with California? Breaking up all of the too-large states would increase both the accountability and...

By "some other route" I didn't mean that they were sociopathic, just that until fairly recently -- say the last hundred years -- there were a great many people in this country, primarily in the West, who were entirely self-sufficient. Except for trading, they had no need for a community, even if...

The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao?

Sounds like something I'd like to be on.

I'm afraid we'll have to disagree again as regards the physical world, depending on how you define "physical". But we needn't go into it.

You want a copy of my tax returns? Right.

Without knowing the protocols, it's meaningless. In any event, if you can't do better than giving money to your housekeeper or whatever at Christmas, then you're hardly one to lecture.

It really isn't necessary to post this twice.

The problem I have with religion, and evangelical Christianity in particular, is when others insist that I live up to their beliefs ... when they don't themselves. You claim to be Christian, a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, but you only preach the Old Testament and ignore Christ's...

There are quotes around them because at the time I didn't understand what you meant by them. But given your elaboration in your second paragraph, I agree. The only extremely minor quibble I would make is that the evolutionary process of social organization is natural only for those who seek...

A minimum level of emotional maturity is required, however, to "objectively see" that they work. In fact, a minimum level of emotional maturity is required to be objective in the first place. Again, it's the trader's mindset. You have it. You saw that what you had been doing wasn't working as...

You can look it up if you like. But it really doesn't matter. As I said, if you've found something else, then go with that.

One would think so, and that's what's advanced in forums like this. But one must still implement, and even with a "proper edge", the emotionally immature trader can't do that correctly.
