Can any other presential candidate come any closer to Dr.Paul on the understanding of the economy?

I think not. We only have economic dummies running for Presidents who have no clue except saying tax cuts are good. My only problem is that I don't agree with Paul on social issues. Otherwise he would have been my favorite

I chose column A long time ago. Which one are you?

This argument makes perfect sense to me. I had come to a similar conclusion a long time ago. I asked similar question when I had to pick. What was the worst thing that could happen if we were wrong about global climate change? To me the answer was clear. It was cleaner air, investments in renewable energy like solar, wind (all the other resources are finite BTW), less trashing of earth with wiser consumption of our limited resources. This is like paying for an insurance for something that may happen to you in the future. It sure costs money upfront and most of the time, you don't get a penny back even if you never filed a claim.




You may ask if I am all talk and no walk. I do act. Have a hybrid that gives me 45MPG on the average, buy green power from my utility, use re-usable cups, plates as much as possible. I have also made many small life style changes like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and choosing to walk for short distances and of taking the car or something else. I reduced my home temparature by a few degrees which result in cost savings. Cook at home more often which otherwise means driving to a restaurent etc. Buy food in bigger quantities rather than bite size containers. Also don't remember the last time I used paper. I can go on and on.

End result is that I am making myself more healthier and I am not losing on anything except making good choices. You should too consider that.

We are screwed. For ever!

If you had thought you knew something about the money and banking system, I dare you to watch Paul Grignon's 47-minute animated presentation of "Money as Debt" which tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created. This is very scary stuff. Not for the faint hearted

MSMs are terrible when it comes to integrity!

http://www.wwe.com/inside/cenaoncnn/
Thanks Redditors for the news. It is absolutely disgusting how the MSMs edit the same piece to portray the opposite of what is being said. John Cena (The WWF wrestler) in the unedited version clearly and passionately says that he has not used drugs even in his life and goes on further to discuss the state of affairs. CNN takes the same video and edits it and makes it look like he has taken performance enhancing drugs and challenging everyone that they won't be able to detect it.

CNN - The most trusted news? Not in my books. Gives me more reasons to not watch. I am very happy to go to WWW for my news where at least I am one click away from finding the truth.

All I can say about it that it is extremely cool. Wish I had time to do things like that!

In the so called Capitalist/Free market...

I have seen it before and and here is yet another example of why government/businesses pay only lip service to capitalism in America! A lot of times, they resort to lobbying and other means to control the market. I got to know about the news from social networking sites but here is the direct link to the news:

http://www.votesolar.org/state-initiatives/arizona.html

Excerpts from the site:
"Net Metering: The state currently has no net metering standards, so individual utilities are free to develop their own. This is a disastrous situation, and there is no better example than what Arizona Public Service, the state's largest utility, is trying to pull. In their latest rate case, APS filed for a net metering tariff that would be devastating to solar in their service territory. To begin with, APS's net metering proposal would cap installations at 10 kW. Fine for the residential market, but that pretty much eliminates commercial systems -- and larger systems are, on average, cheaper to install. But more insidiously, APS made the claim that customers installing solar systems deprives it, the utility, of "lost revenues" for which it deserves compensation. And to make up for it, it wanted to be paid about 6.7 cents for every kWh a customer-sited solar system generates. That's right. If you buy electricity from them, it'd cost you 11 cents a kWh. If you install solar and don't buy electricity from them, they would still get paid 6.7 cents. We've got together with some colleagues, hired a lawyer, and successfully fought APS's proposal. APS will offer net metering up to 100 kW for the time being."

Now don't get me started on AT&T/Comcast and others...

Apple just lost a potential user

Well what Apple did is very in appropriate. Anil put it very well. I am a Windows user and have always been a Windows user. I had some thoughts about trying out Apple's products at some point in the future. Now that they have showed that they have not grown up yet, I have no doubt that I am going to be a Windows user for a while.

With such a tightly controlled Hardware and Software (a.k.a Proprietry), anyone can build a better experience. Infact, being the Microsoft employee I know for a fact that the 3rd part hardware & software are the biggest sources of problems looking the the crash reports! What say you Apple? Open up the platform and you will feel the wrath.

On the other hand, Windows World is better for geeks who have a taste of their own when it comes to Hardware. We don't wait for you Apple to come up with a upgrade. We do it ourselves in the Windows World BTW.
