    Where did those Jewish refugees come from in WW2, and in 1947 for that matter. Surely they didn't all come from Europe?

    Lets just pay half the population to dig holes and we'll pay the other half to fill them back in. Everyone will have a job, and everyone will get paid. Great. Now where can we buy the shovels?

    Really? Where can I see and manipulate one of these models? Can I see the methodology used to create them so I can duplicate them? Where's the source code for these physical models? I'd like to download it and compile my own modeling software. Where can I get the raw, and "corrected" dataset these modelers used to feed their physical models?

  8. Re:Did it "confirm" it was caused by man? on Global Warming 'Confirmed' By Independent Study · · Score: 1

    No, actually the models created are consistent with the warming trend observed by the modelers. The trend predated the models. It's important to remember which came first.

    Actually the United States signed the Kyoto "agreement" in in 1997. It has not been ratified by the Senate.

  10. Re:I Love you Neil on Neil Armstrong To NASA: You're Embarrassing · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that we need to start taxing capital, rather than income? Or are you saying that evil rich people are making a larger portion of all income than the percentage of all income taxes they pay?

    Tax rates may be historically low, but that's just a number. How about tax actually collected? This may shed some light:

    Right. So If the Fed is a greedy private corporation, it voluntarily allows 94% of it's profits to be confiscated. Not likely.

  15. Re:Senator Sander, you know better. on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    Since the Federal Reserve Act created it. It's an Independent Governmental Agency. If it's privately owned, who owns it, and where can I go to short sell shares?

    Although in the present day, I could just as well be describing General Motors, which used to be a private company.

  17. Re:Isn't this illegal? on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    That's a whole lot of BS. The Federal Reserve is most certainly an agency of the US government. It's board members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate for limited terms. Salaries are set by legislation. They can be removed for ethical and criminal acts by impeachment by the senate. You are confusing private with independent. You cannot buy shares in the Fed. No private individual owns the Fed. Go to the federal reserve's website. www.federalreserve.GOV

    How much money have unions given to Wisconsin Democrats in the last 10 years? So now the State collects dues for the public sector unions by force at cost to the taxpayers. The Unions take that money, line their pockets and then give the remainder back to Democrats. Sounds like a fair system to me.
