You are right because honesty shouldnt be a part of economics. I am a tad tired of the Supply vs Demand argument when its so one sided in a consumerist capitlistic culture. It seems to be either the Greedy or the Idiots of the world run everything what does that say about humanity?
Its why I support well regulated Trade and appreciate the SEC(when its honest), Consumer advocates, COnsumer Product Safety commision, FDA, and FTC. o and consumer reports
I would like to think we would do better mining the ocean then we did next our rivers, lakes and streams. But we wont and I can imagine the calamities that might befall us.(though Leviathan, the Abyss and Deep Star Six were interesting flicks)
Instead of sunglasses we are all gonna have to wear Light Amplification googles to see the future.
THe current bill would allow the telecoms Immunity from CIVIL suits while leaving the option for criminal suits...that would mean that Bush could grant a pardon to EVERYONE involved and thus protect them from ANYTHING Obama might want his AG to do. WIth Civil Immunity the"PEOPLE" couldnt even get any sort of justice.
THe poster above is probably referring to the theory that many millions of years ago the Sun was dimmer(75%) and it has grown slowly brighter. The thing is that data does NOT correlate with the Earth's tempature. Theory ran into a problem with you know Life being on Earth at the time which would have been difficult due water being solid. So they throw in Greenhouse gases at MUCH higher rates and poof tempature and life explained.
Problem is the sun is still growing brighter(for now) but we are adding more and more Greenhouse gases/pollutants. So I should think blaming the sun is putting the cart before the horse.
Hmm I wonder who has been profiting from the current system?
Wealth is a perfect thing to tax. You have more you OWE more to the country that let you get there and the people who support you.
90 feet underground, 75 underwater, 250 above sea.
And can withstand Hurricanes? Like to see that test carried out. Really impressive feat if engineering if they can do it. It occurs to me that they mean Hurricane force winds like 60-80mph and not Class 4-5 Hurricane winds of 80-120mph.
course now that I consider it wouldnt be many houses needing power if that sort of storm hit.
It's a hodgepodge of lies, propaganda and twisted truths. Several of their people were outraged that FAIR might be reinstated. Though your method of watching it is the best way...watch then fact check...you will discover that most of what they say is garbage and should be discarded.
We all know studying "Noted Experts" is only the first step of true knowledge. THe Free Market when it exists is HIGHLY destructive to PEOPLE, yeah profits for a few skyrocket but monopolies(some subtle) are created and they damage everything they touch until some radical comes along and breaks it up(for a time).
So for your attack on Keynes please show me a BETTER example of economic thought where ALL hard working people are rewarded, and not just a few at the top. Regulation is blunt against greed(its not perfect but what is).
As to Hayek forgive me if the economist who bent over backwards to support Pinochet in Argentina ranks fairly low on my Useful Human Scale and we know how well THEIR economy did after implementing the Free Market.
Certainly Congress approves the budget..but what happens if Congress(spcifically one part of it stops funding the war? Might A filibuster occur? Perhaps all of congress would halt? What are the ODDS it would make it past veto? Yeah that would be never. So becareful how you blame Congress...truthfully i have no use for those scumsuckers but I do not blame democracy(its just a lovely idea) for our problems...I blame corrupt politicians, voters and non voters.
A useful place for statistics- Unemployment is BAD right now...you are correct its not as bad as right after 9/11 but its still fairly ugly compared to Clinton's time in office.
Inflation 4%? While it appears that US currency no longer reacts strongly to the market(something about Shock theory) if Gas is $4 a gallon and food prices have leapt 100-300%, other countries no longer buy our currency in huge ammounts we got a pretty serious problem on our hands.
Truly I think we are looking the same data and getting very different predictive outcomes.
Any culture that values ignorance(see virginity 72 of them specifially) over some one who knows what they are doing cant be trusted with something so serious as pron.
I find your characterization flawed. 10,000 MILE footprint in the desert does bother me. Besides the animals and plants it would impact do you have any idea what that much of a heat sink would do to the WEATHER in the area?
I dont. I do know that cities absolutely modify their enviroments and what we discussing is MASSIVELY more complex. For example FOrt Hood is 335 square miles and its enviromental impact is noticable. Weather CHANGES when hits it. Most cities have a differnce in tempature of a few degrees then surrounding areas but have a bigger footprint then their limits.
So as treehugger i would be concerned that not just Fauna and Flora might be changed/damaged but that we have NO CLUE what it might do to the surrounding environs.
Some Enviros absolutely would just care about the desert rat..and who can blame them, that rat has EXACTLY as much reason for life as you. I prefer to think of long term consequences and what we might have fix in the future that we mess up without giving due consideration to ALL the problems we might cause. The Law of unintended consequeces is my friend.

So true we should probably get rid of it.

Very persuasive. I will reconsider my point.
I gotta ask. Whoever marked me down troll...which of the 3 were you?
Except he voted in Roberts to the Supreme Court and not only voted him in but was one of his biggest supporters.
Not sure i can name a single honest politician...Jmmy Carter probably is the closest but I am sure he would say he has lied at some point.
Well besides the obvious...votes Republican and makes less the 150k a year, Laughs at Carlos Mencia jokes, and lawyers beat it through the maze?
Guessing a drug that cures those symptoms would truly be a blessing

that is completely unfair...Duct tape could easily solve this problem...for male or female astronauts. Just would have been pretty painful.
