 It is indeed a salient question. Nevertheless, I think I would prefer 
 to explore what makes us happy.
...
 
 People are happy when they get what they want, and they want to have 
 their cake and eat it too. :)
 
 Pure socialism epitomizes fairness. Pure capitalism epitomizes freedom.

That's a completely false juxtaposition. 'License' is not Freedom -- even tho' 
the capitalists make
it their business to see to it that people do not make the distinction. 

Fact is, socialism is about Fairness AND Freedom -- because for one
thing: being fair is all about being free. Think about it.
To wit:





 What people really want is both fairness and freedom. They need not be 
 totally mutually exclusive, but they must be to some extent.

The point has been well-made that true freedom comes with understanding the 
real and concrete limits
imposed by necessity -- i.e. it is only a false, ideal image we have of any 
'Freedom' that doesn't
have much, if anything, to do with real life. Understanding real limits allows 
us to understand just
how we are _actually_ free in any meaningful sense.





 IOW we will never be totally happy.

The problem with idealist thinking is that it deals in abstract absolutes
- -- which have not much to do with Reality. People will be as happy as any 
animal can be, under
communism (never for long, if ever, under capitalism).
And who could want more.

That was based on known placer mines.  Placer mines have veins of
these rare earths which makes extraction simple and inexpensive.
However, some countries, India for example, extract their Nd from
sand.

I am also aware of a patented extraction method which works similar to
uranium enrichment centrifuges that can extract Nd from iron mine
tailings.

If we need it, we can get more.

I just got finished thinking about it.

There is no freedom in socialism.

Freedom and equality are mutually exclusive concepts unless you limit the
definition of equality to equal opportunity rather than equal result.  Equal
opportunity allows us the freedom to prosper from hard work or suffer the
consequences of laziness.  With real freedom, some people will get ahead of
others.  Some call this unfair.  They want equality of result without the
effort.  They want the results of someone else's effort to flow into their
pockets, and that is what I call wealth redistribution, and that is what I
call unfair.

Too many people are riding on the wagon, leaving fewer and fewer to pull the
wagon.  Many of us in the harness, who are straining and sweating under the

lounging and partying in the wagon, and they are saying, Why am I doing all

 thing: being fair is all about being free. Think about it.
 
 
 
 I just got finished thinking about it.
 
 There is no freedom in socialism.

So you claim to be a scientist or sumthin' huh..?
Fancy that.

No. I just claim to think.



 
 Freedom and equality are mutually exclusive concepts unless you limit
 the definition of equality to equal opportunity rather than equal
 result.  Equal opportunity allows us the freedom to prosper from hard
 work or suffer the consequences of laziness.  With real freedom, some
 people will get ahead of others.  Some call this unfair.  They want
 equality of result without the effort.  They want the results of
 someone else's effort to flow into their pockets, and that is what I
 call wealth redistribution, and that is what I call unfair.

This is real highschool stuff, Jeffie...

I deal in concretes, eh? This is the kind of pap they feed you at the
JayCees or the Young Republican club. Or you get every day off Fox Nooze.

You claim to deal in concretes.  I don't see any substance to your reply.
Where's the beef?



 
 Too many people are riding on the wagon, leaving fewer and fewer to
 pull the wagon.  Many of us in the harness, who are straining and
 sweating under the load, are beginning to look over our shoulder and
 see the huge crowd lounging and partying in the wagon, and they are
 saying, Why am I doing all this work.  This is unfair.  If we can't
 ride in the wagon perhaps we should at least have a tea party.

 Exhumation for biological research

 In 2007, nearly 90 years after Sir Mark Sykes died, all the living
 descendants gave their permission to exhume his body for scientific
 investigation headed by virologist, Prof John Oxford. His remains were
 exhumed in mid-September 2008[3]. His remains were of interest because
 he had been buried in a lead-lined coffin, and this was thought likely
 to have preserved Spanish Flu viral particles intact. Any samples
 taken are to be used for research in the quest to develop defences
 against the next flu pandemic, which some scientists[who?] believe is
 likely to flare up at some stage in the future as a mutation of the
 bird flu virus named H5N1. The Spanish Flu virus itself became a human
 infection by a mutation of an avian virus nowadays called H1N1. There
 are only five other extant samples of the Spanish Flu virus. Prof
 Oxford's team were expecting to find a well preserved cadaver.[4]
 However, the lead lined coffin was found to be split because of the
 weight of soil over it, and the cadaver was found to be badly
 decomposed. Nonetheless, samples of lung and brain tissue were taken
 through the split in the coffin, with the coffin remaining in situ in
 the grave during this process.[5]Soon afterwards, the open grave was
 sealed again by refilling it with earth.

 You must admit, it would solve the unemployment problem.

how do you measure person's effort?
by a person's income? 

Harry



Effort is what is required to put an ability or talent to work.  Except for
the severely handicapped, we all have things we can do, whether it be
picking berries out of someone's field or picking tumors out of someone's
brain. The market place determines the value of a person's ability. We all
seek to use our ability where it is valued the most. We want to make the
most money for our effort.  If farmer A is paying me $6.00 an hour to pick
berries, and I hear that farmer B down the road is hiring for $6.50 per
hour, I'm going to quit farmer A and hire on with farmer B, as long as I
have the freedom to choose where I work.
Can a migrant worker who is dissatisfied with $6.50 per hour become a brain
surgeon?  Only in America! I read about it in Reader's Digest.

This is a first class example of equal opportunity, but it took tremendous
effort to make this migrant worker's desire a reality, and so it should.  If
you are going under the knife, do you want this guy, or someone who got his
degree the easy way?

I have a friend Jozef from Slovakia back when it was Czechoslovakia.  He was
in med school intending to be a doctor.  He ran afoul of the communist
government on faith issues, was removed from med school and assigned to be
an X-ray technician (no freedom of choice here). That may not sound too bad
to some people on this forum, but what you don't know is that, at that time,
eastern European facilities used no shielding: X-ray technician was a death
sentence.  (Isn't communism wonderful?)  Soon after, he escaped to freedom
in the US where he could be what he wanted.

By the way, he immigrated legally.

Hi All,

Apparently the CIA has a long history with
swine flu, having caused the destruction of
500,000 pigs in Cuba during the 1970's.  I
found it very interesting that President Obama
stayed and ate with an archeologist, during
his visit this month (4-09) to Mexico, who
shortly thereafter died of pneumonia; his
family later declared that he died of a heart
attack.  Was this another of the 635 Ways
to Kill Castro?

This swine flu thing has a good chance of 
kicking our economic recovery in the head;
and not just Donald Rumsfeld's Tamiflu company
benefits from it.  What did the CIA do when
the Taliban stopped opium production in
Afghanistan?  Points of reference are Michael
Ruppert (Crossing the Rubicon) and Russ 
Baker (Family of Secrets).  The kleptocrats
are not going to give up without a hard fight.

Money is essentially just a way to keep track of material things; to keep
the relative magnitude of the concrete worth of these things in
perspective, as to the resources required to produce them. Which is
always changing, of course.

Under socialist ekonomix of course, money will become increasingly

 I'm at a loss to figure what aspect of human nature would cause a

Something tells me you're not a trained sociologist, then...

 You write as someone who does not own a gun, and I believe that we are

That's quite a bit of analysis there, Thomas.


thank you.



Pray tell, what have you pinned as the true root cause of everything?


Sin



And what's your solution?


A Torah Observant theocratic monarchy.



His creative spelling is one manifestation of the leftist belief 

I noted your comment on the 150,000,000 dead people Grok. Marxism and 
Fascism are opposite sides of the same totalitarian coin. Hitler 
conducted a sacrifice to his god, of followers of the G-d of Israel, 
14,000,000 total. Stalin worshiped the image he saw in the mirror. The 
Oligarchy which put them both in power has pumped your head full of 
s__t. They have convinced you that more of what hasn't previously worked 
is just what the world needs. The return of the king is imminent, but 
not upon us. IOW, you still have time to repent, or you can burn.

I suppose it was a liberal that said Love of money is the root of all
evil.
 

What you say is true. If you take some of R Yeshua's quotes you can make 
him out to be a socialist. Jim Wallis of Sojourner's magazine is great 
hand to do that.


If you ignore that Yeshua was Torah Observant, it's just amazing what 
you can justify using the red letters. BTW, I regard Wallis and his ilk 
as a wolves in sheep's clothing. My Rabbi and I agree that a wolf which 
as learned to take on the affectations of a sheep is the most dangerous 
animal in the woods.

Re: [Vo]:[OT] H1N1 Synchronicity

2009-04-30 Thread OrionWorks
Two recent komments from Grok:

 What, like cuban boat people, or pro-U.S. terrorists?
 Pfft. FUCK bourgeois legality. I'd help a mexican sneak
 over the U.S. border ANY day. And twice on sundays. Having
 been an illegal alien myself, for that matter.

Sounds to me like someone likes to fantasize themselves as a wannabe
illegal, and a revolutionary. Isn't it exciting to think of oneself
as being wanted?

...And then there's that other salient Grok komment:

 Actually, I'm waiting for Hugo Chávez to deliver my
 brand new -- autographed -- AK-103. Any day now.

For references, see:
http://kalashnikov.guns.ru/models/ka126.html

As a famous rock group once sang out:

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

http://www.oldielyrics.com/lyrics/the_beatles/revolution.html

Let me rephrase that ol'Beatle's song:

If you go around carrying AK-103s, while purporting to be a revolutionary
You're increasing your chances of ending up incarcerated, or worse.

Regardless of the legal ramifications of whether one can legally own
an AK-103 - to simply say even in jest that you're waiting for a brand
new AK-103 in a public forum like this, and particularly in the manner
that you have done so, was IMO one of the worst cases of impulsive
stupidity that I've witnessed in over 20 years.

You think your Grok persona is that protected hiding under a rock of
anonymity playing a wannabe revolutionary, letting everyone know that
you're playing the role of a revolutionary? And now you're looking
forward to owning an AK-103?

Are you that stupid...Grok?
