That's the reason that people vote for Bush, and no other.  The problem is
that this is a flase belief.  Real wages have gone down since Bush took
office, and jobs have been lost.  If you earn over $200,000 per year, you
do have more money in your pocket.  If you are like 99% of the country,
chances are that you have lost ground.


: Kerry is nothing but hollow promises and outright lies.


Your basis for this?  Bush lied to bring this country to war, and
continues to lie about the reasons for it.  What lies has Kerry told?
This statement needs to be backed up with some evidence.

It is guaranteed

he
: will accelerate the US march into socialism.


Your basis for this gaurantee?  Again, a baseless lie, this time reported
as a gaurantee.

Socialist love to claim

they
: can solve the world's problems I don't buy it, they haven't done it;
even
: though most of the world is socialist!


Already addressed as a fallacy.

All they can do is blame the US

for
: the world's problems; so be it. This is my opinion and I cannot prove
it.


Interesting, you make a gaurantee, then state that you cannot prove it.
You've learned well from your President.  State lies forcefully, then when
challenged use smoke and mirrors.  Do you think that the people on this
board are foolish enough to buy it?

Re: [Biofuel] Kids Opt for Kerry-socialism?

2004-10-22 Thread Doug Younker

Hi,

I'm having difficulty finding information that details what countries
have capitalist, communist or socialist economies, can anyone help?  Lately
I have been reading many proclamations that most of the world is socialist.
Whenever they write or speak further it becomes evident they are confusing
social programs with, socialism as an economy.  Thanks
Doug

2004-10-22 Thread Michael Redler

Thanks Doug.
 
I know of no country in modern civilization that has successfully changed to 
(Lenin and Trotsky's view of) socialism.  The reason why is a whole other 
discussion.  However, you could find some good examples in early 20th century 
Detroit Michigan.
 
I'd only like to add that from an environmentalists point of view, I could see 
(the theory of) socialism to be a friendlier alternative.

Re: [Biofuel] Kids Opt for Kerry-socialism?

2004-10-22 Thread Tomas Juknevicius

H,

I am not sure what is the difference between the semantics ( meaning, essence)
of the statement and the spirit of the statement. Could you elaborate a bit 
here?

In my humble opinion, this statement only sounds nicely, making it a good 
slogan,
but it is empty/broken in essence ... Again I am lost, what is the spirit 
of this statement?


let me show you again how this statement is broken:
WHO gets to decide what each person is able to do, and what are his/her needs?

IF it is the person himself, the system tends to gravitate to the state, where:
each one evaluates his abilities at MIN (meaning they do not produce much for 
the system)
each one evaluates his needs at MAX (trying to exploit system to get maximum 
from it)
This leads to broken system where there is not enough goods produced
everyone lives poorly, chronic shortage of basic goods, even soap and toilet 
paper :)
Former USSR knows this path very well.

IF it is some other person, who decides, what people are able to do and what 
are their needs,
the system tends to gravitate to the state, where:
people abilities are evaluated at MAX (meaning lots of work requested from 
people, compulsory work
in extreme cases)
people needs are evaluated at MIN (even basic needs are thrown out in extreme 
cases)
This leads to a slippery path of the bureaucratic governing, planned economy,
compulsory work, compulsory work camps
Again, the former USSR knows this path very well.

I do not know of any method, which _fairly_ evaluates people's abilities and 
needs.
Of course, if one finds third, better method, the argument may change, but 
untill then
we are stuck with one of the above options, and these lead to UGLY consequences.

Re: [Biofuel] Kids Opt for Kerry-socialism?

2004-10-22 Thread Michael Redler

Tom,
 
From Websters dictionary -
 
semantics: The study of meanings
spirit: Temper or disposition of mind 

For example, H doesn't carry as much specific meaning as it does an 
expression of sarcasm.
 
If this doesn't clear things up, well, I think I'd like to change the subject 
because being mired in the semantics of this exchange is now occupying too much 
of my time.  If you would like me to concede to some argument that has 
developed from this exchange -- then, so be it.  For the sake of the folks on 
this list, I'm moving on.
