Sudden Confusion

I notice Dick Ligar was turned out on his ass, today. ;-) Maybe there is some hope.

You already have. No need to show everyone else.

Some won't. The vast majority will. They've been bought.

Like I said, you *are* stupid. You must listen to nothing but DNC talking points.

Like I said, you *are* stupid.

You really didn't need to dig deeper. Competing with Slowman?

They need to do like the VA has: If the people want the service, someone donates the land and they build their own bulding.

I have spent sufficient time in both arenas and the above is just plain false. Some are diligent, most government workers only want a position, not a job. Presuming you understand the difference.

So what. Kerry raised very nearly as much (within a few percent, 376 M$ vs. 328 M$). Plus in 2008 Obummer much more notably out raised McCain about 2:1 (745 M$ vs. 368 M$). That's what the data on your site says. Now you tell me that GWB "bought" an election and BO didn't?

There are other aspects to prostitution - beyond the transfer of money

- which Michael Terrell has probably forgotten about. Suffice it to say that kind of activity doesn't pay well enough to fund an election campaign.

Government is the biggest protection racket in town. Protection rackets are obliged to protect their clients from other protection rackets. This does involve competition, but we are talking about a natural monopoly, and the dynamics don't offer any kind of stable multi-player equilibrium

You and James Arthur certainly don't, but you aren't exactly at the state of the art in the area.

Giving us the vermiform appendix and the peacock's tail.

"*Think* for a change: Anti-trust laws reduce the trend for one entity to be in charge" wasn't exactly the politest way of - falsely - claiming that I was wrong.

Your own insult machine is fairly highly developed, but you get upset when your insults are redirected back at their source.

Sort of okay. It looks as if I can buy some EP13-3E55-A100 low distortion ferrite cores in Germany - they are offering three weeks delivery, which tends to mean "not ex-stock, watch this space" but the cores aren't going to be all that much better than stuff that I can buy ex-stock from Farnell.

If the 3E55 cores don't make it I'll use the equally heavily gapped N87 cores that I can get.

We have jobs and you don't, so it looks like our economic models work better than yours.

In, what, 2020?

Yes, but if you can just put up a second box and anyone else can delivery anything they want to do (as newspaper do), it's not exactly an

Because it's not that black and white -- the real question is generally more, "How many people need to be using public transportation before we'll call it effective?" Obviously, if the number is zero, it's not effective... and I have heard of cases where the numbers are shockingly low (well below predictions), in which case I'd be the first to say there's something wrong with the policy.

It's not a strawman: Even if I'm the laziest, most welfare-defrauding individual in the country, I still receive the full benefit (many thousands of dollars per year's worth) of the U.S. military's protection... which is pretty darned good, I'd have to say! And yet -- if I am that individual -- do you think I'd voluntary pay for that service? No way! I'd sooner spend that sort of money on getting my 4x4 mud runner going again, after having broken the axle last time I took if off-road, thank you very much!

So if military protection isn't an entitlement to me, I sure don't know what is.

It's more or less the National Guard, I believe.

Lots of money and influence, I suppose. Of course, you get the same thing from private industry, and a few well-heeled individuals as well. It's too bad so few politicians can't bring themselves to largely ignore campaign donations when it's time to consider policy...

But there is no law against putting the NYT in the NYP box, even if one the NYP owns it. There most certainly is a *federal* law (enforced, too) against putting either in a USPS box, even though *you* own it.

In 90% of the country, it certainly is.

...and we don't call it "effective" unless everyone is forced to use it, right?

I know of once case where it would have been cheaper to issue each commuter a Rolls and driver. Here, they're talking about a $7B transportation bond (to be paid for by a 1% sales tax increase), of which almost 60% will go to mass transit, even though only 5% of the people ever use it. ...and the roads are a mess (on the *other* side of town - not too bad here).

It *is* a strawman. The military is right there in the Constitution as a necessary part of the federal government. I've yet to see mass transportation in there. The post office, sure, but no one is really talking about eliminating it, just making it work.

Oh, good grief! Inventing definition is worse than a strawman.

Nonsense.

Where unions are involved, sure. You can keep them.

Add campaigning for best choices as you see them.
