I judge reality by refusing to watch any news program!
Humans are better off because of science and the example set by the former USA. It is unfortunate that the very thing that creates mankind's prosperity is the very thing they abandon once they assume power.

things that my brain is frustrated. . the chunks of
truth which remain are 1.we're broke, and 2.most
things tend to reduce freedom. . the only sane

Sorry I'm having fun today. Not long before the humor police will be out and about.

the delusional world in which they live supports
continued delusion.
Europe is like this -- except that Greece is trying
to fall off the wagon into "my reality" right now.

The problem between us, M.A. , is that in the tree of knowledge, you are dealing in the leaves, before examining the roots and trunk. However, that does not mean you are incorrect. It means what I'm pointing out is a bit of a quibble now, but once understood will stand you in good stead.

I would suggest most use lesser of as an excuse knowing they are doing evil and thinking the word lesser will serve as an advance variation of the Nuremberg Defense - and make things all right. When societies level of expectation is self esteem with out self respect it''s still possible to look in mirrors and be satisfied - as long as they never admit to themselves they are nothing more nor less than supporters of evil - be it lesser or greater.
Low expectations bring low results
What astounds me is the level of ignorance in the general populace. And there I do believe it is mostly just general ignorance. Culturally ingrained ignorance and foolishness.
To my mind that was 535 plus one national level public office holders making an ignorant decision - it dumbfounded me. Stupid? As it turns out no. They got away with it. Biggest heist in history. Which agrees with the level of ignorance of the general population. I used that term on purpose they made their own prison so stupid and ignorant fools fit quite perfectly.
A soldier would look at them and say...are they really worth fighting for? No. But the Constitution is. Remember your oath of office - and keep your powder dry.

My vote would go to Lyndon Johnson but then the bastard tried to kill me and did kill many of my friends. It's personal not business in his case. Flash forward or backward you will get different nominations and different votes from different folks. Full circle we are back at greater and lesser evils and the very slight difference between the two. If any
It's not however enough of a difference to make them separate parties. All groups have their dumb asses

We have more people now than he said that the earth could support, but starvation has decreased rather than increased. Like most 'greens' he failed to take into consideration the improvements in technology that allow us to feed more with less.
And like most 'greens' when proven wrong, he simply repeats his claim. We have increased population as he predicted but without catastrophe -- so he simply delays the prediction.
But population will not grow without limits. Even as early as Rome we have evidence that a well-off, educated population has a lower birth rate.
All advanced nations have lower than replacement birth rates now, some of them rather drastically. Singapore is down to 1.29 births per woman, South Korea 1.30, Japan 1.41. Birth rates this low can cut a population in half in less than two generations. This has serious impact on retirements.
Many countries are actively trying to increase birth rates -- with little success. Immigration keeps the U.S. expanding but as the third world becomes better educated and more affluent -- and that's happening -- birth rates will fall there as well.
The total population will continue to rise, due to longer lives until around 2050 when we will see a peak population. Some predict as high as 10 billion but I think that it will be less, perhaps 9.5 billion.
We can feed 9.5 billion. If we keep increasing CO2, that will be even easier since we are seeing increased plant growth as a result of the more favorable conditions. And warmer is generally better than colder.
If we could just get the 'greens' to get out of the way we can expand nuclear energy and provide a decent standard of living for the world.
The apocalypse has been canceled.

Second it's not tip, propina, baksheesh, dash, bribe nor blackmail. Income tax in it's present form or any form is a government run protection racket with the government exempt from racketeering charges and no discernible requirement to give return value. Let's all vote for continued corruption! It's the new American way! Only the Government Party gives four names and no choices.
because I'm lazy and want a defensible position,
even if my name isn't Tim Geithner.

I have been writing comments of what I see ahead and I know it's not a pretty picture. Secession is going to happen and it can't be stopped. The crushing debt that has been rung up by the gov't will be the main factor in the dissolution. There are some states on the verge of bankrupcy and I'm sure the American Citizens will not pickup the tab via the the Govt wanting to bail out those states. So, in reality China will by defacto. That would be a bad day!

Ever try to find out the number of registered third party or independents per State. Some have them but for most there's a little sentence that lists all of them and the write in votes as being folded into the leading vote getters column.

I believe each one of these guys from Harry Dent to Jerome Corsi have something to sell, and if they can scare you enough, you will buy the book, video, or subscription just to hear them out.
I wish there was someone raving on about how successful we will be by carefully analyzing the situation, changing an appropriate amount of investments to "hard" assets and collecting lease payments into 7 figures over a few years. But alas, there are no books, videos, or subscriptions to sell for that story. That's the one she sees everyday. And it is work, just like any other profession.
The only one's to lose are the elderly and retirees. In effect the inflation, devaluation and debt repudiation keep the government solvent and the checks flowing. Everyione is so afraid that will stop they never yell What about the Cola adjustment on the 30% loss in value you caused. Side note. The banks and others didn't do a damn thing the government didn't authorize them to do or order them to do. not that they minded. When a third of competition is wiped out it's mother lode time.
the only thing that can go wrong is if they truly do go bankrupt and the printing presses stop completely. Figuratively speaking. Somehow they come out smelling like a rose but the screwed the rest of us and the world for that matter big time. Next time before you vote remember BOHICA and check for sand in the vaseline. For the majority there was no success. Not with a 30 or so percent increase in the cost of living and a corresponding decrease in value of the dollar
THAT is one of the other ways you are taxed with what amounts to a tax on a tax on a tax. It isn't done accidentally.It's how they can run up the debt and then make it disappear...except for Grandpa and Grandma. Most of whom are dumb enough to keep voting for the hand in their pocket anyway.
