To me, it sounded like you were saying morality needed to be legislated...so I asked you if that's what you meant.
There's no need to reiterate your question. I know what you asked. If you'd asked, "does the earth orbit the sun?" I would have responded in the same way, discussing the bizarreness of the question, rather than pointlessly delivering a literal answer.
Then you went all crazy left-wing on me and started bible bashing and Ayn Rand bashing. WTF does *any* of that have to do with my question?
They have to do with the insane ideology that's behind your earth-and-sun question.
The idea that the existence of regulation is the cause of the current crisis is like saying that AIDS is caused by the existence of doctors.
Nice analogy. But completely wrong. Try reading something on the topic.
Thanks. I'm slowly managing to tease it out of you. I provoked you into giving a link to a right-wing think-tank. As I said, your views are so loopy that you must have picked them up wholesale from some such source.
The linked article is not even about regulation. It's about the too-big-to-fail doctrine.
(I can understand how you'd feel that an individual can't think for themselves if you graduated from government schools).
This is the second jibe against education. I ignored the first, but it's really starting to look like you're one of those freaks one hears about whose parents pulled them out of school in order to teach them that the world was made by Jehovah in six days. I've been reading a lot about them recently. Scarily ignorant people. It would be best to tone down your attacks on education, lest people think you are one of those.
I also previously mentioned talk radio, as I have heard it is another central source of gun-toting, gummint-hating, black-lynching wackiness. I don't actually know where you personally got it; perhaps you masturbate nightly over Ayn Rand and Ann Coulter. It's just that the odds of any given individual deciding that a crisis involving banks lending when they shouldn't was caused by the existence of recently-removed lending restrictions, are slim. It's more likely to be a lie that has been spread as truth from a central repository. In the same way, the story of Noah was a lie/tale that was put in a book and spread as truth.
If you can understand this concept in relation to Noah, you should be able to understand it in relation to what we are discussing (even if you think there is no lie). If you think that the Bible is true, however, then there is no hope at all.
