Quote: If that happens to my husband and I; we may run out of room to put the bodies. No way on this planet will someone come in and claim our land that we pay for every month and think they are going to walk away. My husband knows I will fight to the death to protect what we have. I have...

I have WHAT in my yard? : Eh, actually, the big corporations use government regulation to get what they want. If the feds would get out, then the big companies couldn't get subsidies and other benefits, nor could they regulate smaller competitors out of existence. That is exactly what I said...

I have WHAT in my yard? : Here's where we get into trouble. Right now we all are stuck with a Sophie's choice. If we fight government regulation we actually let the big corporations get away with whatever they want, because it is they who want fewer regs even more than we want fewer regs...

Quote: Dur...wrong year . October 2008. When the stocks fell more than ever, and some markets completely closed. TARP came out. All that good stuff Ok. I thought I had missed something or my memory was getting worse than I thought. That's a scary thought by the way. I agree with Q on the...

Quote: You will see race wars and class warfare on an unprecedented level. If it doesn't happend, I'll eat my shoe... If it does happen, I'll have only my shoe left to eat. Race wars? Highly doubtful. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if Waco-like incidents started happening more often.

I have WHAT in my yard? : This is a first person account of what it was (and is) like to live in a country that suffered a massive economic collapse. (THe fact that their collapse was largely engineered by american banks is food for another story)...

Quote: I disagree 100%. Only because, take for example, the hurricane Katrina incident; hundreds of people died because they had no drinking water, while being surrounded by 10 feet of water they could not drink. Now according to your logic, It doesn't matter what you have or don't have right...

Quote: To be honest, the more I study history, the more worried I am. Yes, we are here after Lincoln's dictatorship, and we're living with the unpleasant results. The fact that these things have happened before doesn't mean that they won't happen again, and quite possibly be worse. Our...

Quote: I know it's inevitable. All things end. Nothing lasts forever. I'll be fine, unless I die in which case I won't care anymore. Happy New Year everyone! I really don't understand the point of studying history if we consistently refuse to learn from it. The way I figure it, we have a...

Quote: History is written by the victors. Only truly reliable sources are primary source documents and some books that rely almost entirely on primary source documents.

Quote: Thankee. I've missed discussing "the issues" with you guys - this is quite possibly the best online place to get other perspectives. Your perspective is always interesting Q. I enjoy a lot of the other perspectives too. Sometimes it makes you rethink your own opinions. It's what I...

I have WHAT in my yard? : Quote: Thankee. I've missed discussing "the issues" with you guys - this is quite possibly the best online place to get other perspectives. Well, I'll be dipped Q9! You're back AND we agree on something!! Wow. I didn't figure anyone would notice, considering...
