@I-Man

I have nothing to offer on the Fed…

I was just having with MEH’s response to Greg regarding abiotic theory…

Basically what I like is what I percieve to be MEH’s stance that “what the f*** do we really know anyway”?

So FWIW – Until someone can PROVE to me that there are no frozen orange cows on Titan f@arting methane ice cubes, I’m standing by my research…But beware, DON”T EVER ELECT ME TO PUBLIC OFFICE…Otherwise, I’ll fund useless endeavors at the taxpayer expense to prove my theory…

Mark-
Why do you think we do not need the Fed? In a paragraph. I admit having not having done my own homework on the subject. I dont really know what the Fed does period, besides set rates, and issue arcane statements about inflation and risks to economic growth. Enlighten me. CV- feel free to chime in.

It is estimated that AD1804 had a 1 billion human population and AD1927 had 2 billion.

WW1 had 16 million deaths .. WW2 had 50 million to over 70 million killed .. Korean War 944,110 soldiers KIA and 2.5M civilian casualties (not all killed)

Point being .. those folks being gone could not reproduce offspring (pre my life) .. contributing to the earth only having 6 billion people today … 20 years to a create a generation … and my fuzzy compounding action math is done

Greg,

you posit that “Oil”, et al. are the resultant of “Fossils/previous Flora y Fauna”..

a few Q:’s 1. have you ever done the Volumetric conversions that would give you ~ the Starting Mass needed?
2. have you bother to know of the ‘abiotic theory’ of Hydrocarbon production? proven, or disproven it?
3. where the ‘Dinosaurs’ on Titan? can you explain the Hydrocarbon atmosphere of Titan, and other extra-Terrestial terrestial bodies? Did they,too, come from bodies?
~~

past that, the Trader.net squawk is interr-esting, though, anyone? BR? Jessica6? care to Answer my, above, Queries? Dare I call out to F411?

to batmando (been out today) .. if ALL* money exchanging hands were Flat Taxed the percentage number needed to run government would likely be less than 1% .. and that would be less of a tax on those below the poverty line then now .. so no need for rebates (all things being the same otherwise)
* market trading and raw materials for manufacturing

and to Camp hopeImwrong’ers .. your own words “ultimately exploiting and using up resources, breaking the growing pie model, and forcing either a static model of equilibrium (one size pie), or a cyclical model of destruction and rebuilding” … and to F411 comments “The basic idea of “conservatism” is that resources are limited. The pie cannot grow” F411 disagreed with that at some level
.. I say that the world human population going from 3 to 6 billion in my 50 year life span (so post Korean War) has a lot to do with your pie growing .. recycling will help with those other mineral resources but our precious oil from dinosaur flesh and vegetation compression … maybe we will be the oil for the inhabitants of AD6,000,000,2010?

andy-

surreal- that is what it is like right now-

I am thinking- that this is the worst mess this country has been in- possibly even including the great depression- it will not be a V shaped recovery- we don’t have laid off factory workers waiting for the assembly lines to start running again- a la 1980′s-

it’s ugly- and I don’t see where prosperity will come from-

the stock market has become nothing more than a frenzy of speculation- people are more than ready to bail at any moment-

that’s why I think that when this ship goes down- it goes down fast- everyone running for the exits at the same time-

because the believers are all gone- for good reason
