Random questions - what kind of beans do you eat with corncakes -baked beans? Are corncakes just like pancakes but made of cornmeal?

I'd like to start shifting some of my 401k into precious metals in a way that won't break the bank with high fees, etc. Anyone know of any precious metal index funds?

Yeah! Good wisdom. Eat well, stop getting sick. Go vegan. Go raw. I've dropped from 220 pounds to 165 by just changing my diet and exercising, and I've overcome colitis, which doctors tell you is incurable. Most diseases people suffer, diseases of affluence, are completely preventable and...

Thanks for your clear explanation of that view. I especially intend to check out healing our world age aggression.

Thanks for your responses. Question answered.

That's great. I'm glad to hear it. I'll look into milton friedman videos. Brazil is not a libertarian country. They are as vulnerable to criticism of disastrous environmental policy as our government.

I've actually studied ecological devastation at some length, and am fairly familiar with the subject. I am not familiar with libertarian thinking beyond a basic level - reading Ron Paul's writings, for one, some essays by libertarians, etc. None of what I've read has provided me with the...

I believe so. Native Americans who lived in the eastern and western forests were master foresters, and had the concept of 7th Generational thinking. They believed that when making decisions they should try to think how it might affect, negatively or positively, those coming seven generations...

I absolutely believe that there is no constitutional authorization for preventing rainforest destruction out of the territorial bounds of the country. So if we stick to it, it seems that we are largely unable to improve the situation through governmental means. The government is not really...

I get this impression because when I try to bring the topic up, most libertarians I've spoke to evade, refuse to answer my specific question, vaguely make references to the market fixing things without providing specific answers, or generally just say...well...I don't really care about (animals...

This isn't really a critique of individuals. It has nothing to with any one individual. It's what we do collectively. Collectively, we're apparently continuing to have children. Collectively, we're apparently eating meat, and therefore sending out economic signals that we want more and...

Here are two things that I very frequently hear coming from people on this forum. 1) The dollar has lost 95 percent of its value since 1913, when the federal reserve was created. I hear this from Ron Paul as well. 2) The dollar is way overvalued, and in order to retain jobs and stop...

Hi Bossobass, thanks for your reply. I'd like to know what business you're in, if you don't mind me asking. I certainly agree that the taxes and regulations you mention are a great impediment to business, but I'm curious to know (from you or someone else) if any research has been done to...

I'm curious about your statement. What quality manufactured goods from Russia have you seen recently? I frequently hear German engineering applauded, especially when it comes to cars, but I rarely see anything impressive. Most of my friends with expensive German-made cars go to mechanics more...

Thanks for posting those videos. I agree that in the vast majority of cases, privately-held land that is sustainably harvested and replanted is more efficient than the current model of publically held forest lands. However, you have to understand that the vast majority of clear-cut land today...
