Basically that governments can't increase the money supply arbitrarily.

Our (US) government can't increase or decrease the money supply. The Federal Reserve, a privately held company does that. You want to know why we're screwed? Because only a handful of people have control of the entire US economy, and a large part of the world economy.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency gave its 2009 SmartWay Excellence Award to Georgia-Pacific, a Koch Industries company. “I commend Georgia-Pacific for its leadership in promoting sustainable transportation practices through the SmartWay Transportation Partnership,” said Margo T. Oge, director of EPA’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality. “These actions demonstrate a commitment to a cleaner environment and more secure energy supply.”

EPA gives an environmental award to a Koch Industries business unit. What Koch does is not cater to the Far left viewpoint of Environmentalist / anti Capitalist / socialist agenda. You know the "build wind farms, just not where I can see them" Kennedy types

Presenting Microsoft in a positive light. Wasn't probably needed to support your point, and enough kneejerk Slashdotters think MS can do nothing right... and for the most part, they are correct, but broken clocks are right twice a day.

Or asking a misplaced question (Off Topic)

No worries about Getting modded down. I have excellent Karma now, I had excellent Karma in the past, and in between I've had BAD Karma. Easy come easier go. The time it took me to go from Excellent to bad was about two days (experiment), to get back to Excellent took about a month.

Which only proves one thing, it is easier to lose Good Karma Points than it is to get it back.

The thing that I change wasn't my view, it was simply how I presented my view.

Walking through the City Plaza park, which is right across the street from the police department, one will always smell pot. Always.

There is a park that is supposedly a "drug free zone" with "enhanced penalties" (super law) where you can find people smoking pot throughout the day.
