I don’t put much stock in these sort of predictions, there’s no way they could strongly be backed by any sort of science.

That being said, I do find it interesting that he mentions Progressive Libertarians. He doesn’t say much about them though, so I have to wonder exactly what he means when he uses that term. Hopefully he’s speaking of them in a limited government manner.

If anyone is interested in learning about the Progressive Libertarianism principles, they can find them at http://ProgressiveLibertarian.org

This is actually a movement that I started, and as mentioned further above, it is not affiliated with a party, especially whackjobs that advocate for mandatory sterilization.

#67, I agree.

To further expound on that for those who don’t know, under Capitalism, everybody engages in the free exchange of goods and labor, unfettered by government coercion.

That’s right. Under Communism, everybody plunders everybody. Whereas under Capitalism, it’s the exact opposite.

#65, In an ideal world, everybody.

So, everybody plunders everybody?

Sounds like full-fledged communism to me.

33 Father:
“who is going to pay for your world of plenty?”

In an ideal world, everybody. In an anthill, as an example, every ant contributes in some way to the health and well-being of the community; some by foraging for food, some by building and maintaining the tunnels, some by caring for the eggs and pupae, etc. For their efforts, they all get to live in a protected, air conditioned, flood resistant nest, an ant’s heaven-on-earth.

Are we less than ants? In some ways, yes. We live in a protected society with an extensive infrastructure dedicated to keeping us well fed, comfortable and healthy, yet many of us chafe and complain at having to contribute money and/or effort to maintain this community. Some even foster rebellion, not suspecting (or not caring about) the chaos that always ensues.

I say to those: Grow up! You did _not_ get to where you are today all by yourself, without anybody else’s help. You were aided by the effort and treasure of untold millions of others. Have some regard for them, and for future generations, or else move to an uninhabited island and truly do it all by yourself.

WATCh the state TRY to figure out HOW to get Property tax, from HOME OWNERS renting to OTHERS because NO ONE HAS MONEY.
WATCH the nation TRY’ to collect itself and get us BACK TO WORK.. GET us to PAY for services, and BUY something..
RAID the stores..get food and Cook it over open fires and in BAR-B-QUE’s

I kinda think we are going to have stagnation in the job market followed by…more stagnation in the job market.

Wall Street and the Tort Lawyers are doing okay but this is not a good place for small business growth and if the Dems have their way it will get worse.

The next question is where does most job growth occur in a healthy economy? Small business.

J, j j j j…..you haven’t opened your eyes yet. Coffee is brewing. This prez is no better than the last one, and he may end up being a lot worse. In 8 months he has…appointed an appalling number of cronies (many of whom are crooked), had 17 or more tossed out by the Senate (a new record, historically), appointed untold numbers of CZARS which don’t need Senate approval. He’s out there talking — almost daily — but the machine that he’s a slave to (big business, big business, big business) is pulling the strings.
I’m sorry, but the big O is no better than the big B, and history (if we survive) may paint him as very much worse.
Open your eyes, start looking up who is the head of HUD, who is in charge of the CIA, who is running the banking oversight committee. Their backgrounds are out there…and, it’s a sorry pack of mutts.

What’s better than wars to balance the exponential human population growth? At least wars give people a fighting chance (no pun intended).

#35, bushbeater said – “I’m tired of pretending they matter. I’m saying we should shun them, marginalize them and generally not let them have a say in what society does. They are part of a violent savage past that we voted to put behind us.”

Yes, I can tell you clearly are the civilized one. Clearly anyone who seeks to exclude, marginalize and ostracize all opposition is the reasonable person.

#52 So, in essence you are saying either that Bush didn’t do it so bad or that you agree with what Dumbya did? It’s not clear for me. But how could a post from conFused not be confusing?
