Hate to tell you QuiteDragon, but we are not a Democracy, we are a Republic. The word Democracy is nowhere to be found in’ Our’ Constitution. As a matter of fact many of the framers felt that democratic principles should be applied only in a limited fashion. This is evidenced by the ‘electoral college,’ and the lack of any guaranteed right to vote.
Steve did you think that anyone without street experience would know what an eight-ball. Actually the term originated among heroin users toward the end of war in about ‘70. An eight ball of smack gave way to the more readily available (and acceptable) eight-ball of Blow. One eighth of an ounce. I think he was measuring Harry’s Ritalin
Good day to you also Pete, and sorry for the delay in response. I must say though, you are quite like an oxidation/reduction reaction: if you know what you put in, you know what you can expect as a result (in your case, a precipitate). I can’t help myself, you are just so much fun. You remind me of a very young me. “Trained in the Law” and you’ve your JD. or maybe even LLD. Perhaps it’s a para-legal? Maybe you worked at a Law firm? As far as ‘having the facts,’ what did Faulkner say: “Facts and truth really don’t have much to do with each other.” You are like a friend I play Chess with. He has studied all the classical gambits, defenses, etc., but he never seems to see the board. You seem to have great deal of time on your hands judging from how often you comment on this site. Perhaps you should consider continuous daily employment. You have a ‘Series 7’ (I assume), you could use that. You do write well, perhaps Technical Writing. I do not have much time today as I must attend that notoriously elite group Rotary, and attend to payroll this afternoon. I will certainly stock up on some whiny positions for you to articulate, and dismantle at our next encounter.
Gee Pete you are so bright. I am in awe. That was a truly masterful disertation. It shows that you have very keen ability to pare the complex down to simplicity. Or was it that way on Google or your favorite liberal Blog? Certainly you seem miss the point, and/or the effect of artificial inflation on the dollar’s strength at home, or abroad from what I implied. My original statement was merely meant to deal with the idea that under ‘full faith and credit’ these fiscal policies amount to a hidden tax on the people whose ‘full faith and credit’ backs them. These policies have been used by other Administrations going back more than just twenty years. However, Bernake and Obama have bested all others substantially in their aplication. Even after policy statements to the contrary prior to reneging.As ‘braggart’, you seem to be the only one who fits that desription. You felt compelled to give a rather simplistic but verbose rationale for the purpose of stroking your own ego. Further, ‘dubious?’ We have heard you cyber-jabber. We have yet for you indicate your credentials; degrees, their origin, or their disciplines. I have indicated some of mine; to which you can add:Insurance Broker with Bayly, Martin, and FayeSecurities Broker/Dealer Robinson HumphreyGeneral & Options Principal Raymond JamesFirst Investment, Management, and Research franchise owner in N.FL (IM&R is a division of RJF) Undergrad in Chemical EngineeringCurrently semi-retired, but own two companies dealing Process Aplications, and Industrial Pollution Control engineering. These two companies deal mainly in Aerospace, and Medical industries, and have completed project in many countries. Including refit lines for the Egyptian Air Force for the F-16 that went to them at Helwan Depot under a lend/lease project. Cleaning lines for Medtronics for De-Fib & Pace Maker implantable devices. Oder Control Scrubbers in Singapore.
As I have said, I thought that this was a comics forum, but I do like political dicusion, or in your case Petie, Political Pontification. Must be nice to be so young, perspicacious, and know everything.You should quit while you are ahead.Pray you do not see that happen?? You trully are a self rightious little snit aren’t you Petie. From the first I have offered to debate with you on a more appropriate forum. Bring it on sonny. I have three daughters. All with post-graduate degrees, and any one of them would also be more than a match for you on any level. Pray you do not see it happen. Just rolls off the tongue and Keys doesn’t? How truly Dim you are.
Ah, Dimocrats finally using that dense (and otherwise useless) object on Obama’s shoulders for something. I’m sure that somewhere on there “George Bush Did It” is carved.
Baby Baby It’s a Wild World, but My Harem is a Quiet Place
