You are showing your idiocy... again.

See above.

Now, you sound like that retarded, rotten bastard Trump.

You are the idiot.

Yeah, right. Look where outlawing cannabis got us.

A government which jailed folks who harmed no one, and then went on to force all UN members to draft laws against it as well.

They are only about as stupid as it gets.

It is a shame too because Lebanese Hashish was the best s*it ever made.

Business creates wealth and jobs. Government destroys wealth and jobs.

Too much gets done. At least the two parties police one another for corruption.

And nothing is more important than wealth and jobs, right?

They're what makes everything else possible.

We have enough food to keep everyone on the planet healthy, if not obese. But about a billion people can't afford it because they earn almost nothing and can't grow enough themselves. And people need things to do; jobs have social value as well as economic value.

Too bad there is no party of *small* business. That's where good jobs come from, places where the owners and the employees know and care about one another.

Humans have only recently starting using money and having jobs, but that's how we live now.

Germany has government intervention designed to make the work force healthi er and better trained, and a large positive balance of trade. The US govern ment does very little to keep it's work force healthy or educated, and it h as large and persistent negative balance of trade.

John Larkin is too dim to have noticed this. The Communist centrally planne d economy didn't work very well, didn't create all that much wealth, and wh ile it did create jobs, they weren't all that productive. Modern socialist economies try to confine their interventions to areas where the free market doesn't work all that well - health care, education and training - and Sca ndinavia and Germany are doing quite well in consequence.

There's not a lot of point in telling snakes that they need a license for their fangs and poison glands. You probably do need a permit to keep a venomous snake as a domestic pet - you do if you want to keep an aggressive breed of dog.

What about civil forfeiture then?

Both parties represent the people ... with money...

"appear to", it says, and don't take 'appear to' for granted because that is the rotten way the stupid public is being manipulated.

Unbridled Big business creates wealth and concentrates wealth by exploiting workers.

Unbridled Big Government appropriates wealth and creates wastefull jobs.

Then you agree with me, we need a party to represent "the people" ... and small business.

Donald Trump should rot in prison for the s*it he pulled in Scotland alone.

Nonsense. I chokes out small business, which concentrates wealth by exploiting workers. Big business *likes* big government. Only they have the power to manipulate it.

We have one.

Nothing civil about it, and we are fighting it (and likely to get it repealed) in my state.

Cheers, James Arthur

I'm afraid that you are the stupid public who is being manipulated - but do n't feel too bad about it, because James Arther is quite clever and has fal len for the same guff.

"Appear to" in this context is a reference to the fact that the direct effe ct of the Milankovitch cycles is tiny, and only leads to an alternation bet ween ice ages and inter-glacials because of positive feed-back from changi ng CO2 levels and northern hemisphere ice cover.

The recent (last 4 million years) alternation of ice ages and inter-glacial s is rare (geologically speaking) and reflects the fact that we currently h ave a land mass on the south pole (which can support an ice sheet) and a pr etty much land-locked Arctic ocean (which can be ice-covered).

One of the ways anthropogenc global warming got scientific credibility was the way the CO2 variations observed in the Greenland and Antarctic ice core data (which cover a number of ice ages and interglacials) allowed people t o expalin how the tiny Milankovitch effect could produce the large surface temperature differences between ice ages and interglacials.

bs.

ng workers.

Sure. The horrible examples were the centrally planned and controlled Commu nist regimes. Modern socialist governments - in Germany and Scandinavia - a re bridled by the usual requirement to get re-elected, and while they do co llect more of the GDP in taxes than more right-wing governments the wealth appropriated is largely spent on keeping the work force healthy, well-educa ted and well-trained, and that proportion of the work force actually workin g does seem to be unusually productive. The Scandinavian economies are doin g fine, and Germany exports almost as much as the US - with about a quarter of the population - and has had a positive balance of trade for as longas the US has had a negative one.

Sadly, even small businesses need educated and trained workers. They can ev entually train some of their employees to become more skilled, but it helps if they can hire people who already know what they are doing.

small business.

Small businesses do fine in Germany and Scandinavia. John Larkin claims tha t he couldn't start up a firm like his in France, because all the bureaucra cy would make it too complicated, but John Larkin doesn't like complicated electronics either.

I don't worry about that, your opinion seems mainly be driven by fear. Fear for vitamin C, fear for diarrhea, fear for reports on vaccine damage, fear for facts...
