Or as tea-partiers and evangelicals are to the "R" party. As for extremism, it has been and probably still is a mantra for conservatives that "extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice", which sounds great but which also has brought us to the point of robocop confrontations, the TSA, the...

At the street level its about race and tribalism, maintaining tension between Americans based on color, inertia, history, fear of the other and the entitlement of force in a small space. From the big picture perspective, the shooting and subsequent events in Ferguson are helpful to national...

Sort of like Ed Muskie. Or John Kerry.

Regardless of who says it, it's still racist. One of the most racist participants in the P&R forum is black, but that doesn't change the fact that his disparagement of his own people is racist. And talking about "leftist slave masters" on the one hand and "losing . . . the D label and the R...

Jim Wright . . . The events of Ferguson, Missouri over the last week are the norm in America. And there is nothing particularly new about any of it. From the Whiskey Rebellion to Ferguson, this is how we so often do business in America. Shoot first, ask questions later, let God sort it out...

Try again. I'm not talking about the way things are or even the way they should be. I'm talking about the way they used to be. My suggestion to consider that was only half-serious. Lighten up, for Christ's sake.

I'm sure if you try real real hard, you'll be able to understand what I said. We're not talking about "good will". We're talking about restitution to the victim. The perp has no choice in the matter. Never work? It worked for centuries. Still does in some cultures. Whether or not it would work...

Perhaps we ought to go back to the way we used to resolve situations like this: the perpetrator makes good the loss to the victim. If you steal something from somebody, you return it. If you don't have it anymore, or used it up, or ate it, then you pay for it. If you don't have any money, then...

My suggestion is that you follow no one at all but determine how the market works -- how and why and when prices go up and down -- on your own. It will then be yours, and that will more likely lead to a level of confidence which will enable you to succeed than would hanging on to someone else's...

What I've read -- and I'll be first to admit that I haven't read extensively since I don't think any of it is going to make any difference -- speaks of fifty years, a century, two centuries. Five years is most likely bupkus. Having gone through the sixties, I can understand the emotionalism...

If I may . . . You say you have a written plan, but if you had a written plan, i.e., a thoroughly-tested and consistently-profitable plan, all these questions would be answered by it: you'd know where to place stops (if you used them at all), you'd have your targets (if you use them at all)...

I'm surprised that no one has posted this. If I'm mistaken, my apologies. ROB GARVER August 14, 2014 The continuation of the political fight over how to deal with the crisis on the Southern border was always going to be ugly. But a new report from the Department of Homeland Security’s...

Well, damn! That is one hell of a thoughtful reply. Are you sure you know where you are? :) I'll be brief, if that's ok. As far as the 17-year business, I don't see it as being all that important. Even if one limits himself to millenia, 17 years is not even a blip. As to doing something, and...

Or you tossed away your blinders in the 80s.

Update on my "where are we most likely to bounce" post from the 2nd. August 2 August 6 And the charts. One of the first charts has disappeared, but I happened to keep copies. So the first two are from the first post, the second two are from this week. As you can see, the SPX bounced off...

I found this interesting: Ferguson Protesters Guard Stores From Looters Braden Goyette Posted: 08/16/2014 7:53 am EDT Updated: 1 hour ago Chaos broke out in the streets of Ferguson on Friday night, the same day that police announced the name of the officer who killed unarmed teenager Michael...

I didn't say that the actions were nothing more than an excuse for rationalizing bigotry; I said that the postings were. As for your supporting anyone feeling bitter and resentful or playing the victim, of course you do. You're doing it right now.

Actually I have condemned both rioting and looting. Understanding is not the same as condoning. As for "knockout games", all I know is what's been posted here, and from what I've read, the postings appear to be just one more excuse for rationalizing bigotry. Are blacks always in the right? Of...

Yeah! Shoot 'em all! Goddamn!
