No, we shouldn't drill in Alaska because we'll spoil a beautiful piece of our nations' irreplaceable endowment of land, for nothing.

Drilling in ANWAR will not change the fact that peak oil has come and gone, and we're in a completely different world now. Drilling in ANWAR will not do anything but prolong the inevitable. We need a different strategy to win this one.

What's an analogy that you can understand? How about this: suppose you had 5000 Springfield rifles and a time machine. If you went back to 1865 with them, could you save the Confederacy? No, you could not. 5000 Springfields were too little, too late. That little bit wouldn't change the big picture.

Comment It's bullshit (Score 1) 12

Look at yields on T-Bonds. On one hand we have a lot of people TALKING about the shit that is going to fuck us with the most enormous cock EVER. On the other hand, we have actual rates which are used to calculate actual yields on actual bonds. With rates that low, it's clear that the people who actually have skin in the game aren't worried in the slightest that those bonds will ever be defaulted on. If there was an actual cock attack coming, then the T-bond rates would be higher to reflect the risk.

Trust me. I'm rich. Really.

Comment Different kinds of inflation (Score 1) 8

Inflation in a shitty economy is a different kind - stagflation. The basic cost of production is going up because of energy prices, as well as the burden of our fucked up medical care system.

The solution is to create more money through deficit spending. We needn't worry about the other kind of inflation because of the slack capacity in the economy.

I've said this before, and people thought I was an asshole who didn't know what he was talking about. I'm going to keep repeating it until current events cause it to make some sense.

Who gives a shit about the cameras that the police have. You only need to worry about your own cameras. When you are prohibited from owning your own camera and taking pictures in public of public activities, including police activities, that is when you should worry.

There, make sense? All you people who think 1984 is all about Big Brother's cameras got it wrong.
