Thank you for stating what should be obvious. She's horrible and will fight against decency and liberty every chance she gets.

Thanks for that, Domalais. But I think you would agree that the above situations you describe are incredibly unlikely. I personally think it is unlikely that we'll see any tightening whatsoever through 2012, and only a small chance we'll see some toward the end of 2013.

It's not 2008/2009 anymore. The money supply has gotten a lot bigger and all of the big banks other than Lehman benefited. On top of that, the whole point is inflation will drive up the value of bank assets and actually make their "Book Value" stronger and stronger and less tenuous. If you want...

I don't think there is much the Fed can do at this point, the money is already created and in the hands of the banks. They are solvent and inflation is setting in. Banks may have trouble making a lot of money in a high inflation environment but they are still trading well below book value. As...

OK, very basically heart disease comes from LDL which has been oxidized and then "eaten" by a macrophage. This comprises the substance we know as arterial plaque. Those who contend that saturated fat causes heart disease are basically claiming it increases your LDL. My understanding is that some...

One day I'll give Fountainhead a shot. I've read Anthem and consider it one of the greatest literary works I've ever found, even if it is short. I know she is a great writer and ultimately a great thinker, but I do think she is dead wrong on charity.

I've gotten the sense that Rand thought all charity was immoral - not just state handouts but private individuals giving what they have to those in need. Can someone more knowledgeable on Rand's positions either verify or dispute this? Its just what I've gotten from listening to her supporters...

It should be Idaho, not Wyoming! First of all I think the choice of New Hampshire was a disaster. It makes no sense to take libertarians out of the west where they are concentrated and move them east where even the conservatives love big government, besides the fact that its a harder move. I...

Here's hoping. I wish the free state project had developed further. Then we'd have a real reason to doubt the polls.

My impression of NH completely changed that day 4 years ago. I couldn't believe how little support they showed for Paul. "Live Free Or Die" doesn't mean much to them apparently. Lets see if they redeem themselves today but my optimism is tempered.

Phil it's refreshing reading about your outlook and willingness to work hard and go wherever the opportunities are. I love your quote about not minding hard work but minding no work. I know someone who has been unemployed for two years and is very picky about the kind of job they want to do...

The difference between September 2008 and now is US banks are well capitalized, overly capitalized actually, and individuals in the US have less debt. Europe will likely toe the line between hyper inflation and GPD destruction for many years - it will likely be a slow bleed with inflation...

All of the supplements I take are just whole, unprocessed foods arranged in a convenient format, with the exception of D3. This is the safest way to get great nutrients while limiting risks. I take the following supplements regularly (I rotate between supplements so there isn't any one I take...
