  1. Agreed

  2. "Value is set on the market. Including the value of labor and capital."

    That simply means that those currently with the most 'value' in the current system have invested in the system that lets 'the market' set 'value'.

  3. If that makes sense then as Congresswoman Gwen Moore says it makes a lot more sense to start at the top with the richest because you will get a much better return.

    And after that you can work your way down from the richest, though it's not cost effective to go all the way to the poor.

    Of course, but it is relevant to cause

    You aren't using the same definition of the word nuts so your point is not relevant

  9. I disagree now with what I wrote, please delete

  10. "What could I possibly do to change the decisions others make?"

    Answers can be found in normal human relations, psychologists and educational therapists could provide some help along those lines. Like if you insult someone they will be more likely to retaliate, so at that level for example you could change your behavior and that would help others make different decisions.

    In this case, you can look at it at the level of cultural relations.

  11. "the answer us kill those whose made up mind does not match the decision that you would have chosen. If you can't change a person's mind, destroying it achieve the same outcome"

    The question was "What could I possibly do to change the decisions others make?"

  12. "Asians were 'oppressed' much more than black people were in the recent past, just ask George Takei (Mr. Sulu)."

    Pick any group, oppress them and you will have more of them in prison and more violence among.

    "Black people haven't been oppressed for give-or-take 50 years"

    so you say so

    "that's several generations of black people growing up without knowing what it was like to be segregated"

    or working as slaves, so?

    "Still, historically, black crime wasn't nearly disproportionate as it is today even though they were 'oppressed'. In the early 1900's-1950's race of incarcerated people largely resembled the actual population ratios although it was higher for those of 'negro' decent (that was the word used in context to statistical data), there were many times more white people in prison than any other race"

    Pick any group, oppress them and you will have more of them in (the oppressors) prison and (probably) more violence among

    That's part of the definition. Though I'd question the 'more violence' part

  13. Good point, but it doesn't answer your question

    "The best option now is to spread that loss all around"

    In Canada, politicians (national, provincial, and municipal) have been saying they'll be more transparent for years but so far they've actually made it harder to access information.

  23. Its not about stupid. How many people even now something like this could happen, I know it could happen, but I'm talking the average intelligent person, and I wouldn't be surprised if a lot less than half of those have ever heard something like this could happen.
