    Greed

    Oh Mary, Mary ..... quite contrary ...... :D One should never assume that because one's opinion was ultimately rejected, that then also means the opinion wasn't considered and thoroughly examined. Perhaps your thoughts on this are merely a reflection of your own personal inclinations in this...

    Voters say Washington is worse than Wall St

    Of course, when facts on the ground don't comport with what an individual would prefer be the case, the tendency is to dismiss or just simply ignore them .... nevertheless the facts remain the the facts. To that end, Michael Tracey of Reason Magazine opines: Link to rest of article: Occupy...

    Greed

    The characterization (of the title) is a bit of a misnomer .... and Dr. Friedman while mentioning greed several times, eventually poses the question: "What is greed ?" ..... and then utterly fails to answer it ... and instead moves on to talk about economic self-interest and free-markets .... as...

    Voters say Washington is worse than Wall St

    Mutt, I realize that the easy thing to do is drink deep of the MSM propaganda as to what OWS is all about .... afterall it is easily available and free (or at least included in your cable bill) :rolleyes: But you wouldn't be suckin' on a crack pipe ..... jus' cause there's a dope peddler on...

    Is Herman Cain the new target?

    Well Bris, This is one where "racist" might be more in the eye of the beholder than anything else .... If you want to understand the context of my appellation of the moniker "Uncle" (as in "the man who would be") to Herr Hermann, see if you can recognize the fellow in the following picture:

    Occupy Wall Street?

    Have a look at the 2003 documentary written by Joel Bakan, and directed by Mark Achbar and Jennifer Abbott: THE CORPORATION It examines corporations, their history, and their conduct from the point of view of "What is their pathology (sickness) ?" - which may be appropriate, given the fact...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    .... apart from the fact that's it's one of the Seven Deadly's ? Wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, and glutton :D Just because it is (technically) "legal" ..... does not mean it is moral ..... or ethical ...... If I and my fellow citizens pass a law that makes it "legal" to just take...

    Peanut m'dear - you get it - unfortunately, I'm afraid our friend from Plymouth doesn't ..... yet. I do however hope that he will ... eventually .... My initial post in response to him was intended to illustrate that just as there is some lunacy on both sides, there might well be some...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    Dennis, I posted these quotes once before in some thread - maybe this one - they are applicable in the situation we currently find ourselves in: "Often the masses are plundered and do not know it." "Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Sometimes the law places the whole...

    Occupy Wall Street?

    You would think .... Unfortunately, some folks apparently have no ability to "think outside the box" ..... so when they run across something that doesnt fit their own preconceived notions they just can't "grok" it ..... they are so solidly fixed into their own viewpoint they can't even...

    Is Herman Cain the new target?

    Good ;) Mislead ? Cain is a bought and paid for shill for the Fed (even if a stealth one) - you simply don't get to be a Fed Governor or Chairman of a Fed Bank without being one ..... either that or simply .... a bought and paid for useful idiot .... Here's Uncle Herman doin' his shuck and...
